Recurrent neural network architecture with pre-synaptic inhibition for incremental learning.
We propose a recurrent neural network architecture that is capable of incremental learning and test the performance of the network. In incremental learning, the consistency between the existing internal representation and a new sequence is unknown, so it is not appropriate to overwrite the existing internal representation on each new sequence. In the proposed model, the parallel pathways from input to output are preserved as possible, and the pathway which has emitted the wrong output is inhibited by the previously fired pathway. Accordingly, the network begins to try other pathways ad hoc. This modeling approach is based on the concept of the parallel pathways from input to output, instead of the view of the brain as the integration of the state spaces. We discuss the extension of this approach to building a model of the higher functions such as decision making.
