Researchers have developed SpikeQ, a novel framework for post-training quantization of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). Unlike traditional methods that focus on minimizing mean squared error, SpikeQ guides quantization by simulating downstream neuron behavior and minimizing spike errors. This approach is crucial for SNNs on neuromorphic chips, where limited memory necessitates low-bit synaptic weights and membrane potentials. SpikeQ demonstrates significant improvements in accuracy and efficiency, particularly with low-bit potentials, outperforming existing methods on benchmarks for image classification, semantic segmentation, and object detection.
