• Abstract: Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have recently gained popularity as machine learning models for on-device edge intelligence for applications such as mobile healthcare management and natural language processing due to their low power profile. In such highly personalized use cases, it is important for the model to be able to adapt to the unique features of an individual with only a minimal amount of training data. Meta-learning has been proposed as a way to train models that are geared towards quick adaptation to new tasks. The few existing meta-learning solutions for SNNs operate offline and require some form of backpropagation that is incompatible with the current neuromorphic edge-devices. In this paper, we propose an online-within-online meta-learning rule for SNNs termed OWOML-SNN, that enables lifelong learning on a stream of tasks, and relies on local, backprop-free, nested updates.

  In the present paper, I describe an SNN structure which, seemingly, can be used in wide range of reinforcement learning tasks. The SNN structure considered in the paper includes spiking neurons described by a generalization of the LIFAT (leaky integrate-and-fire neuron with adaptive threshold) model. My concept is based on very general assumptions about RL task characteristics and has no visible limitations on its applicability.
