Biologically-Plausible Learning Algorithms Can Scale to Large Datasets

The backpropagation (BP) algorithm is often thought to be biologically implausible in the brain. One of the main reasons is that BP requires symmetric weight matrices in the feedforward and feed- back pathways. To address this “weight transport problem” (Grossberg, 1987), two more biologically plaus...
