The Whale That Outswam Evolution: Swarm Intelligence Maximises Memory in Connectome Reservoirs
Researchers applied four bio-inspired optimization algorithms to connectome-based neural networks across six animal species, demonstrating that gradient-free optimization can enhance biological neural structures by up to 17x on memory capacity tasks. The findings show that biological weight values, refined through evolution, serve as critical initial conditions that topology alone cannot replicate, establishing a principled approach for improving connectome-based reservoir computing systems.
