ICML paper says regularized learning often looks Hebbian, while noise turns it anti-Hebbian

Hebbian learning looks “universal” under regularization
This ICML paper argues that many learning algorithms can be interpreted through a Hebbian lens once regularization is added, and through an anti-Hebbian lens when noise is injected. The authors say this may help explain learning dynamics in biological brains.
- The poster claims regularized learning often aligns with Hebbian updates across different algorithms.
- Noise pushes the alignment toward anti-Hebbian behavior.
- The message is framed as a broader interpretation of how both artificial and biological learning may work.
