New research explores advanced training methods for Spiking Neural Networks

Two recent arXiv papers explore advanced techniques for training spiking neural networks (SNNs). The first paper introduces a general framework for incorporating delays into SNNs using additional state variables, enhancing their ability to capture temporal dependencies and showing efficiency gains in smaller networks. The second paper proposes Phase State Space Models, which adapt State Space Models for parallel and surrogate-free training of SNNs, integrating features like STFT, recurrent memory, and attention within a spike-compatible architecture.

    Phase State Space Models: Parallel, Surrogate-Free Training of Spiking Networks

    State-space models (SSMs) provide a powerful theoretical framework to enable parallel training of recurrent networks. We expand on previous work adapting SSMs to spiking models to provide a novel interpretation of resonate-and-fire (R\&F) neural networks which is compatible both …
