Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

81
Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.
One key aspect of implicit...

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

96
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Long-Term Memory01:18

Long-Term Memory

98
Long-term memory is a relatively permanent type of memory, capable of storing vast amounts of information over extended periods. Its storage capacity is generally considered unlimited.
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

144
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Interference and Decay01:16

Interference and Decay

102
Forgetting is a complex cognitive phenomenon influenced by several factors, among which interference and decay are particularly prominent. These processes explain why individuals often struggle to retrieve specific information from memory, leading to lapses in recall that can be observed in everyday situations.
Interference occurs when competing memories hinder the retrieval of particular information. It can be classified into two types: proactive and retroactive interference. Proactive...

Explicit Memories01:27

Explicit Memories

88
Explicit memories, also known as declarative memories, are consciously remembered, recalled, and reported. Studying for a chemistry exam involves material that will become part of explicit memory. There are two types of explicit memory: episodic and semantic.
Episodic memory contains information about personally experienced events and is reported as a story. An example of episodic memory is recalling a birthday celebration. This type of memory includes the what, where, and when of an event, as...

Area of Science:

  • Computational neuroscience
  • Machine learning
  • Statistical physics

Background:

  • Backpropagation is key for neural networks, but local learning offers decentralized training benefits for energy-based models.
  • Local learning methods often contrast desired (clamped) and spontaneous (free) behaviors, but require explicit memory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce Temporal Contrastive Learning (TCL) for energy-based models.
  • Enable contrastive learning without explicit memory using implicit, non-equilibrium memory.
  • Explore the role of non-equilibrium dissipation and energy costs in TCL.

Main Methods:

  • Developed TCL using integral feedback for implicit memory.
  • Employed a sawtooth-like temporal protocol alternating free and clamped behaviors during training.
  • Analyzed learning quality and Landauer-like energy costs.

Main Results:

  • TCL successfully generates implicit memory through integral feedback and temporal protocols.
  • Non-equilibrium dissipation was shown to enhance learning quality.
  • A Landauer-like energy cost for contrastive learning was determined.

Conclusions:

  • TCL offers a novel approach for decentralized learning in energy-based models.
  • Implicit non-equilibrium memory broadens the applicability of contrastive learning.
  • Understanding energy costs is crucial for physical implementations of learning systems.
