We will discuss how the recent advances in statistical physics of random constraint satisfaction problems can contribute to learning problems in neural systems.

Specifically we shall describe the main conceptual challenges related to learning with discrete synapses (down to the binary case) and how some of these challenges can be solved efficiently by message-passing algorithms.

On-going applications to “deep” networks, hardware in situ learning, efficient Bayesian predictions and to input supervised learning in attractor networks will be mentioned.
