		outsideline on Oct 13, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Differentiable Neural Computers Decoupled Neural Interfaces using Synthetic Gradients is a fancy name for the electro-chemical gradient that lies outside the cell wall of neurons : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_gradient It's decoupled yet stores transient local information regarding previous neuron activity. Another bio-inspired copy-pasta.

You should absolutely get a job doing it, if you think bio-inspired copy-pasta is all it takes. May I recommend Numenta?

Please choose derogatory phrases like 'copy pasta' intentionally and carefully.

Many algorithms are bio-inspired -- good artists borrow, the best steal.
