The Evolution of Learning Algorithms for Artificial Neural Networks

2025 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In this paper we investigate a neural network model in which weights between computational nodes are modified according to a local learning rule. To determine whether local learning rules are sufficient for learning, we encode …

Learning Model Bias

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In this paper the problem of {\em learning} appropriate domain-specific bias is addressed. It is shown that this can be achieved by learning many related tasks from the same domain, and a theorem is given …
