• Abstract: Encoding information with precise spike timings using spike-coded neurons has been shown to be more computationally powerful than rate-coded approaches. However, most existing supervised learning algorithms for spiking neurons are complicated and offer poor time complexity. To address these limitations, we propose a supervised multi-spike learning algorithm which reduces the required number of training iterations. We achieve this by formulating a large number of weight updates as a linear constraint satisfaction problem, which can be solved efficiently. Experimental results show this method offers better efficiency compared to existing algorithms on the MNIST dataset. Additionally, we provide experimental results on the classification capacity of the LIF neuron model, relative to several parameters of the system.

  Erasure-coded computing has been successfully used in cloud systems to reduce tail latency caused by factors such as straggling servers and heterogeneous traffic variations. We design a method to code over neural networks, that is, given two or more neural network models, how to construct a coded model whose output is a linear combination of the outputs of the given neural networks. We conduct experiments to perform erasure coding over neural networks trained on real-world vision datasets and show that the accuracy of the decoded outputs using COIN is significantly higher than other baselines.

  Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) seek to mimic the spiking behavior of biological neurons. We propose a novel Stepwise Weighted Spike (SWS) coding scheme to enhance the encoding of information in spikes. This approach compresses the spikes by weighting the significance of the spike in each step of neural computation, achieving high performance and low energy consumption.

  We propose a new learning framework for neural networks, namely Cascaded Forward (CaFo) algorithm, which does not rely on BP optimization as that in FF. Unlike FF, our framework directly outputs label distributions at each cascaded block, which does not require generation of additional negative samples. In our framework each block can be trained independently, so it can be easily deployed into parallel acceleration systems.

  Activation Relaxation (AR) algorithm provides a simple and robust approach for approximating the backpropagation of error algorithm. We show that the algorithm can be further simplified and made more biologically plausible by introducing a learnable set of backwards weights. We also investigate whether another biologically implausible assumption of the original AR algorithm -- the frozen feedforward pass -- can be relaxed without damaging performance.
