• Abstract: Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are biologically inspired machine learning models that build on dynamic neuronal models processing binary and sparse spiking signals in an event-driven, online, fashion. SNNs can be implemented on neuromorphic computing platforms that are emerging as energy-efficient co-processors for learning and inference. This is the first of a series of three papers that introduce SNNs to an audience of engineers by focusing on models, algorithms, and applications. In this first paper, we first cover neural models used for conventional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and SNNs. Then, we review learning algorithms and applications for SNNs that aim at mimicking the functionality of ANNs by detecting or generating spatial patterns in rate-encoded spiking signals. We specifically discuss ANN-to-SNN conversion and neural sampling. Finally, we validate the capabilities of SNNs for detecting and generating spatial patterns through experiments.

  We propose a novel neural architecture search scheme for binary neural networks, named NAS-BNN. Our discovered binary model family outperforms previous BNNs for a wide range of operations (OPs) from 20M to 200M. In addition, we validate the transferability of these searched BNNs on the object detection task, and our binary detectors with the searched BNNs achieve a novel state-of-the-art result, e.g., 31.6% mAP with 370M OPs, on MS dataset.

  Spiking neural networks (SNNs) represent a promising approach to developing artificial neural networks. Applying SNNs to sequential tasks, such as text classification and time-series forecasting, has been hindered by the challenge of creating an effective and hardware-friendly spike-form positional encoding strategy. We propose a novel PE technique for SNNs, termed CPG-PE. We demonstrate that the commonly used sinusoidal PE is mathematically a specific solution to the membrane potential dynamics of a particular CPG.
