Adaptive Multi-Scale Goodness Aggregation for Forward-Forward Learning
The paper introduces Adaptive Multi-Scale Goodness Aggregation (AMSGA), an enhancement of the Forward-Forward algorithm aimed at improving neural network performance. AMSGAs modifications include multi-scale goodness aggregation and adaptive learning techniques, leading to better stability and generalization. Experimental results show significant performance improvements on standard datasets without added computational costs.
- ▪AMSGA is designed to enhance the stability and robustness of local-learning neural networks.
- ▪The proposed method includes adaptive curriculum-guided hard negative mining and layer-dependent adaptive thresholds.
- ▪Experiments on MNIST and Fashion-MNIST show performance improvements of up to +1.45% and +1.50%, respectively.
