A Appendix

Both VGG16 and EfficientNetB0 are converted to predictive coding networks PVGG16 and PEffi-cientNetB0, using the Predify package. The current version of Predify assumes that there is no gap between the encoders. To verify the functionality of Predify's default settings, we applied One can easily override the default setting by providing all the details for a PCoder. VGG16 consists of five convolution blocks and a classification head. Each convolution block contains two or three convolution+ReLU layers with a max-pooling layer on top.
