The paper introduces ELiSe, a model that leverages cortical network scaffolds and dendritic compartments to learn complex non‑Markovian spatio‑temporal patterns using only local, always‑on, phase‑free synaptic plasticity. It demonstrates the model’s ability to acquire and replay intricate sequences, exemplified by a birdsong learning mock‑up, and shows robustness to external disturbances and flexibility in parameter settings.

The paper introduces SpiKFAX, a second‑order optimization technique for Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) that uses a Kronecker‑factored approximation of the Fisher information matrix tailored to the sparse, discrete, and temporally recurrent dynamics of SNNs. By addressing the sharp loss landscape that hampers training with conventional optimizers, SpiKFAX improves test accuracy and training stability across five architectures and seven datasets. The method offers a computationally tractable alternative to existing curvature‑based approaches for SNNs.

The paper introduces a noisy group neuron (NGN) model that uses synchronous resetting and neural stochasticity to improve spiking neural networks (SNNs). It combines this model with a mean‑field backpropagation framework and demonstrates superior performance on several benchmark datasets, achieving 87.35% accuracy on CIFAR10‑DVS in just 10 inference steps.

arXiv:2606. 24075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although deep learning-based methods can achieve high accuracy in automatic modulation recognition (AMR) tasks, their high computational cost makes it difficult to strike a balance between accuracy and power consumption, thereby limiting their application on resource-constrained platforms.

The paper introduces Spiking Contrastive Attention (SCA), a module designed to reduce spectral bias in Spiking Transformers by enhancing high‑frequency information. It demonstrates that spiking neurons and spiking self‑attention act as low‑pass filters, leading to loss of high‑frequency components. Experiments show that SCA improves performance across image classification, semantic segmentation, and event‑based tracking while maintaining lower complexity than the original spiking self‑attention.
