Equilibrium Propagation: Bridging the Gap between Energy-Based Models and Backpropagation

We introduce Equilibrium Propagation, a learning framework for energy-based models. It involves only one kind of neural computation, performed in both the first phase (when the prediction is made) and the second phase of training (after the target or prediction error is revealed). Although this algo...
