New method enhances robustness of event-based spiking neural networks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Perturbation-Aware Firing Scaffolds (PAFS), a novel post-training calibration method for event-based spiking neural networks (SNNs). PAFS addresses the sensitivity of SNNs to perturbations like event loss or timestamp jitter by analyzing late-layer firing trajectories. The method associates these trajectories with class-probability residuals from an Adapter anchor and uses singular value decomposition to extract residual-aligned channel directions. When applied to corrupted data, PAFS projects firing trajectories onto this scaffold to correct logit predictions, showing accuracy improvements of up to 3.65 percentage points across various datasets and architectures with minimal added trainable parameters.

    PAFS: Perturbation-Aware Firing Scaffolds for Robust Event-Based SNNs

    Event-based spiking neural networks (SNNs) encode information through temporal firing dynamics, but the same stateful computation makes their predictions sensitive to event loss, timestamp jitter, and speed variation. These perturbations alter evidence accumulation, yet late-laye…
