The paper demonstrates that for a broad class of spiking neuron models, including the leaky integrate‑and‑fire with subtractive reset, any approximation bound proven for multi‑spike networks can be translated to an equivalent single‑spike network with only a linear change in neuron count, and vice versa. This establishes that single‑spike and multi‑spike neural networks possess identical approximation capabilities for general machine learning tasks. Consequently, existing approximation results for single‑spike networks automatically extend to the multi‑spike case.

The paper introduces the Sparse-Activation-ReLU (SAR) layer, a single‑step neural operator that promotes activation sparsity without surrogate‑gradient training and is compatible with event‑based computing. In a trunk‑based NOMAD architecture, SAR improves the combined Latency‑Error‑Energy (LEE) metric by over fivefold compared to Variable Spiking Neuron (VSN) and Leaky Integrate‑and‑Fire (LIF) models. Additional techniques such as synthetic knowledge distillation, a ReLU‑based spiking loss, and graph‑neighbor thresholding further reduce LEE and L2 error on the Heat Exchanger dataset, advancing energy‑efficient virtual sensing for edge deployment.

MeMark introduces a watermarking scheme for Spiking Neural Networks that embeds a multi‑bit identifier directly into the membrane state of selected Leaky Integrate‑and‑Fire neurons, rather than in the output head. The watermark is recoverable by comparing neuron firing thresholds, eliminating the need for a learned decoder. Experiments on various SNN architectures—including a 215.4M‑parameter SpikeGPT checkpoint—show that all 20 independent 64‑bit keys reliably pass verification under a 51/64 rule, remain robust after fine‑tuning, pruning, quantization, and output‑head replacement, and are not recovered by random keys or adaptive attacks within the tested threat model.
