Title: Adaptive Learning with Self-Organizing Dynamical Equations and Self-Oscillatory Networks

Abstract:
Current backpropagation models, despite their outstanding achievements, still face significant limitations in adaptation and robustness. Perhaps, switching to a paradigm of learning with dynamical systems could offer a better approach to lifelong learning. In response, we have proposed models such as Self-Organizing Dynamical Equations (SODE) and Self-Oscillatory Networks (SONs). The former employs dynamical equations with bottom-up self-organizing properties to solve the chunking problem, and the latter uses a reservoir network to model oscillation behaviors. SODE has proven to be more adaptable compared to models like Word2Vec and BERT, and SONs present a more biologically plausible approach to modeling biological circuits.
