Abstract

We introduce a biologically plausible method of implementing reinforcementlearning to multi-layer neural networks. The key idea is to spatially localize the synaptic modulation induced by reinforcement signals, proceeding downstream from the initial layer to the final layer. Since reinforcement signals are known to be broadcast signals in the actual brain, we need two key assumptions, inhibitory backward connections and bypass to output units, to spatially localize the effect of delayed reinforcement without breaking the basic laws of neurophysiology.
