Abstract

Neural networks based on metric recognition methods have a strictly determined architecture. Number of neurons, connections, as well as weights and thresholds values are calculated analytically, based on the initial conditions of tasks: number of recognizable classes, number of samples, metric expressions used. This paper discusses the possibility of transforming these networks in order to apply classical learning algorithms to them without using analytical expressions that calculate weight values. In the received network, training is carried out by recognizing images in pairs. This approach simplifies the learning process and easily allows to expand the neural network by adding new images to the recognition task. The advantages of these networks, including such as: 1) network architecture simplicity and transparency; 2) training simplicity and reliability; 3) the possibility of using a large number of images in the recognition problem using a neural network; 4) a consistent increase in the number of recognizable classes without changing the previous values of weights and thresholds.

Genetic Programming with Behaviour-based Niching for Learning Guided Local Search in Vehicle Routing Problems

Genetic Programming Guided Local Search (GPGLS) learns utility functions that guide local search for vehicle routing. Its evolving programs can have similar fitness while inducing different search behaviour, making fitness alone an incomplete basis for population diversity management. We propose GPGLS with Behaviour-based Niching (BN-GPGLS), which characterises programs through six operator-level descriptors collected during local search. A current-generation archive selects fitness-competitive, compact representatives from strata of a behaviour score. Fixed policies use archive parents continuously, whereas adaptive policies activate them using training-fitness and standardised behaviour-dispersion signals, optionally with a tree-size condition. We compare four behaviour-based variants with a no-archive GPGLS control and fitness-based niching over 30 seed-matched runs on generated 200-customer instances. BN-Adaptive achieves the best descriptive average rank on a separate 90-instance monitoring set; aggregate routing-cost differences are small. All five archive policies produce lower final-population median tree sizes than the GPGLS control, with paired Wilcoxon comparisons remaining significant after Holm adjustment. These results identify useful solution-quality and program-size trade-offs within the evaluated setting, without attributing the size reductions to behaviour representation alone.

DCL-GPGLS: Dynamic Curriculum Learning for Genetic Programming Guided Local Search in Large-Scale Vehicle Routing

Genetic Programming Guided Local Search (GPGLS) uses genetic programming to evolve utility functions for guided local search in large-scale vehicle routing problems (LSVRPs). Evaluating every GP individual on every training instance at every generation is expensive, so GPGLS is usually trained on small instance batches. Existing curriculum-based GPGLS orders these batches mainly by instance size. Adaptive Curriculum Learning GPGLS (ACL-GPGLS) improves training efficiency by adapting when the search moves between fixed curriculum stages, but the instance difficulty order remains predefined. We propose DCL-GPGLS, which estimates the difficulty of each training instance from the current population's solution quality and updates the estimates during evolution. Each generation then receives a batch near a scheduled difficulty level, with a correction that limits repeated selection of the same instances. Experiments on a fixed training-test split of the CVRPLIB X set show that DCL-GPGLS achieves the best observed average rank and mean test cost among six training policies. It obtains the lowest mean cost on 36 of 65 unseen test instances and is significantly better than the static feedback-derived curriculum, matched in total evaluator calls, on 6 instances, with no significant difference on the remaining 59.

Meta-Representational Predictive Coding: Neuroscience-Informed Self-Supervised Learning

Self-supervised learning has become an important paradigm in the domains of machine intelligence and computational neuroscience. Nevertheless, current work on self-supervised learning (SSL) relies on biologically implausible credit assignment, i.e., backpropagation of errors, and feedforward inference, i.e., a sequential, non-parallel flow of information. Predictive coding (PC) offers a biologically plausible means to avoid backprop-specific limitations. However, unsupervised PC requires learning a generative model of raw input, which entails predicting high dimensional input; on the other hand, supervised PC learns a mapping between inputs to target labels and thus requires human annotation and incurs the drawbacks of supervised learning. In this work, we present a neuroscience-informed SSL model based on PC and active perception that we call meta-representational predictive coding (MPC). MPC sidesteps the need for a generative model of sensory input by learning to predict representations of data across parallel streams, resulting in an encoder-only learning-and-inference scheme.
