Recent deep learning approaches for network intrusion detection increasingly incorporate temporal architectures such as recurrent networks and Transformers, often reporting near-perfect performance on CIC-IDS2017. However, many existing studies neither supply their temporal modules with genuine sequence inputs nor evaluate under realistic, leakage-free conditions, making it unclear whether reported gains arise from true sequence-modeling capability.

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.

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.
