Lin et al. introduce a brain-inspired generative model that provides two key features of intelligence: planning and problem-solving. It uses cognitive maps, stochastic computing and compositional coding, and requires only local synaptic plasticity.

Abstract Artificial intelligence systems are becoming more intelligent, but at a very high cost in terms of energy consumption and training requirements. By contrast, our brains only require 20 W of energy, they learn online and they can instantly adjust to changing contingencies. This begs the question what data structures, algorithms and learning methods enable brains to achieve that, and whether these can be ported into artificial devices. We are addressi
