arXiv:2605.21568v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this work, we extend the Equilibrium Propagation framework to skew-gradient systems and show an equivalence between deep Energy-Based Models and Hamiltonian neural networks. We focus on networks of diffusively coupled Fitzhugh-Nagumo neurons as a prototypical example. We show that since stationary solutions of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model are described by self-adjoint operators, the methods of equilibrium propagation for performing credit assignment can be applied. Furthermore, for Fitzhugh-Nagumo networks with the topology of a deep residual net
