Together with Ariane and the team, we confirm that local self-supervised learning can learn hidden hierarchical structures of synthetic datasets. On the same datasets, we also clarify the limitation of Direct Feedback Alignment.

We show it is possible in our new paper accepted by ICML. We achieve: 1. theoretical equivalence to BP in a controlled setup 2. new SOTA for local learning across image datasets 3. same performance as BP on multiple datasets16 Jun 2026 13:37 +0000at://did:plc:st6lrghulapbtkrybuntuqu7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mofw7t6by22a
