The role of the fast weights, δwi, is to transiently adjust neuronal output to suppress immediate errors – errors that can be predicted if y * changes slowly. The role of the slow weights, wi, is to ...

In this paper, I show that this debate can be resolved by constructing a general version of Hamilton’s rule, which allows for a large variety of ways in which the fitness of an individual can depend ...
