Spiking Neural Networks Show Richer Input Space Partitions Than ReLU Networks

Researchers have explored the expressivity of spiking neural networks (SNNs), focusing on the time-to-first-spike (TTFS) model. They demonstrated that each neuron's firing time can be represented using a maxout-like structure with numerous constrained affine pieces. The study also formalized causal regions as polyhedral regions and derived bounds on the number of causal regions in both shallow and multilayer feedforward SNNs. The findings indicate that SNNs can create more complex input space partitions compared to traditional feedforward ReLU networks. AI
