An empirical study evaluated Sparse Predictive Hierarchies (SPH) for chess learning, specifically testing non-backpropagation methods. The study found that the SPH architecture, which utilized extreme weight sparsity (~99%) and local learning rules, failed to converge effectively compared to a standard CNN model, resulting in poor policy accuracy and value loss. The findings suggest significant limitations in using SPH for complex tasks like chess, where global dependencies are crucial.

「Understanding Sparse Predictive Hierarchies」 Sparse Predictive Hierarchies (SPH) are biologically inspired architectures designed to operate without traditional backpropagation, aiming for efficient learning through local updates. This study specifically tested SPH in the context of chess, a domain that requires both local pattern recognition and the ability to manage long-range dependencies.
「Consequences for Non-Backpropagation Learning Approaches」 The negative results from this study indicate that non-backpropagation learning methods, particularly those employing extreme sparsity, may not be suitable for tasks requiring complex global credit assignment, such as chess. This could lead researchers to reconsider the viability of SPH and similar architectures for similar applications.
