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 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.
