Don't Mess with Backprop: Doubts about Biologically Plausible Deep Learning

Deep Learning has nothing to do with biophysical neuron simulation, even though there is a confusing overloading of the term "neural network". A good introduction to deep learning is this chapter: https://mlstory.org/deep.html.
STDP falls under biophysical models of neuron simulation, where we try to faithfully reproduce biophysics of brain simulation (trivia: I started my undergrad in computational neuroscience and implemented STDP several times [1, 2, 3]). STDP is a learning mechanism, but it has not demonstrated the ability to learn as powerful models as DNN.
