GeneRec is a generalization of the recirculation algorithm, and approximates Almeida-Pineda recurrent backpropagation.12 It is used as part of the Leabra algorithm for error-driven learning.3

The symmetric, midpoint version of GeneRec is equivalent to the contrastive Hebbian learning algorithm (CHL).1
