Recent research demonstrates that brain-inspired shallow feedforward networks can efficiently learn non-trivial classification tasks with reduced computational complexity, compared to deep learning architectures. It showed that shallow architectures can achieve the same classification success rates as deep learning architectures, but with less complexity. Efficient learning on shallow architectures is connected…
