Noisy group neurons with synchronous resetting for high-performance spiking neural networks

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

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.

Exploring napping paradigm for Recurrent Spiking Neural Networks

The paper proposes a biologically inspired micro‑sleep technique called napping for recurrent spiking neural networks, combining proportional weight scaling with continuous stochastic membrane activity. Experiments on an unsupervised SNN trained with trace‑based STDP on Gabor‑preprocessed MNIST show that well‑tuned napping can match the classification accuracy of conventional weight normalization while offering different clustering characteristics. The study suggests that napping may be preferable when representational structure is more important than raw classification speed, despite its higher simulation cost.
