The paper introduces four new event‑based vision datasets created with the ANTShapes simulation tool, designed to support object classification research using spiking neural networks (SNNs). These datasets vary in difficulty and are benchmarked against established spiking datasets such as N‑MNIST, CIFAR10‑DVS, DVSGesture, and POKER‑DVS using a convolutional SNN. The work provides detailed, high‑quality datasets for future experiments and validates ANTShapes as a suitable tool for generating event‑based vision data.

Spikformer V2 introduces a Spiking Self‑Attention (SSA) mechanism that removes softmax and uses spike‑based Query, Key, and Value to capture sparse visual features efficiently. It also adds a Spiking Convolutional Stem (SCS) and employs self‑supervised learning (masking and reconstruction) to pre‑train the model before fine‑tuning on ImageNet. The result is the first spiking neural network to surpass 80 % accuracy on ImageNet, achieving 81.10 % with a 172 M‑parameter, 16‑layer model in just one time step.

The paper introduces BLADE, a reliability‑aware method for selecting the boundary between spiking and artificial neural network components in hybrid event‑based object detectors. It jointly optimizes boundary placement and early‑exit settings for reliability, accuracy, execution time, and energy, using fault injection to guide design. Experiments show a 0.691 mAP@0.5 with 15.82 mJ energy when the ANN exits early, and that protecting a single floating‑point exponent bit eliminates catastrophic failures while a fully SNN configuration retains 96.5% reliability under severe faults.
