PC-ALM is an alternative to Backprop

Researchers introduced PC-ALM, a local alternative to the backpropagation method that can train 1000-layer residual MLPs using layer-level dynamics and feedback controllers.

This alternative can potentially mimic credit assignment in the brain. PC-ALM scored 97 points in 16 hours.
