The paper studies a stochastic extension of continuous recurrent neural networks and analyzes gradient descent learning rules to train their equilibrium solutions. A theorem is given that specifies sufficient conditions for the gradient descent learning rules to be local covariance statistics between two random variables: 1) an evaluator which is the same for all the network parameters, and 2) a system variable which is independent of the learning objective. The generality of the theorem suggests that instead of suppressing noise present in physical devices, a natural alternative is to use it to simplify the credit assignment problem. In deterministic networks credit assignment requires an evaluation signal which is different for each node ...
