Spiking neural networks: single-spike and multi-spike neurons found equivalent

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper published on arXiv demonstrates the equivalence in approximation capabilities between single-spike and multi-spike neurons in neural networks. The study, authored by Dominik Dold, shows that for a broad range of spiking neuron models, including the widely used leaky integrate-and-fire model, the approximation bounds for multi-spike networks can be matched by single-spike networks with a comparable number of neurons. This finding suggests that many existing approximation results for single-spike networks are also applicable to multi-spike scenarios, simplifying theoretical analysis and potentially broadening the applicability of certain network architectures.

IMPACT This research clarifies the theoretical underpinnings of spiking neural networks, potentially impacting the design and analysis of neuromorphic computing systems.

    Equivalence of approximation by networks of single- and multi-spike neurons

    arXiv:2603.13478v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In a spiking neural network, is it enough for each neuron to spike at most once? In recent work, approximation bounds for spiking neural networks have been derived, quantifying how well they can fit target functions. Howev…
