Enhancing learning through neuromodulation-aware spiking neural networks
Alejandro Rodriguez-Garcia, Srikanth Ramaswamy · Bernstein Conference 2024
Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly through the development of artificial neural networks (ANNs), has significantly benefited from insights gained from neuroscience. This progress has enhanced the replication of complex cognitive tasks such as vision and natural language processing (1,2). However, ANNs still struggle with continual learning, adaptable knowledge transfer, robustness, and resource efficiency - capabilities that biological systems handle seamlessly (3–8). Neuromodulators, the chemical messengers that target neurons and synapses in specific brain regions,
