abstract = {Despite remarkable technological advances, AI systems may
still benefit from biological principles, such as recurrent
connectivity and energy-efficient mechanisms. Drawing
inspiration from the brain, we present a biologically
plausible extension of the eligibility propagation (e-prop)
learning rule for recurrent spiking networks. By translating
the time-driven update scheme into an event-driven one, we
integrate the learning rule into a simulation platform for
large-scale spiking neural networks and demonstrate its
applicability to tasks such as neuromorphic MNIST. We extend
the model with prominent biological features such as
continuous dynamics and weight updates, strict locality, and
sparse connectivity. Our results show that biologically
grounded constraints can inform the design of
computationally efficient AI algorithms, offering
scalability to millions of neurons without compromising
learning performance. This work bridges machine learning and
computational neuroscience, paving the way for sustainable,
biologically inspired AI systems while advancing our
understanding of brain-like learning.},
