Meta-Learning through Hebbian Plasticity in Random Networks

Paper summary

Searches for synapse-specific Hebbian learning rules rather than fixed final weights. Randomly initialized networks change during execution and are evaluated on reinforcement-learning tasks, including high-dimensional sensory and locomotion settings.

Relevance to the project

Directly relevant to lifetime adaptation and inherited updater specificity. The paper evolves per-connection coefficients; the project's shared fixed type-level mechanisms pursue a different reuse structure.

Do not describe the inherited coefficients as a single globally shared rule.
