• Abstract: With the advent of neuromorphic hardware, spiking neural networks can be a good energy-efficient alternative to artificial neural networks. However, the use of spiking neural networks to perform computer vision tasks remains limited, mainly focusing on simple tasks such as digit recognition. It remains hard to deal with more complex tasks (e.g. segmentation, object detection) due to the small number of works on deep spiking neural networks for these tasks. The objective of this paper is to make the first step towards modern computer vision with supervised spiking neural networks. We propose a deep convolutional spiking neural network for the localization of a single object in a grayscale image. We propose a network based on DECOLLE, a spiking model that enables local surrogate gradient-based learning. The encouraging results reported on Oxford-IIIT-Pet validates the exploitation of spiking neural networks with a supervised learning approach for more elaborate vision tasks in the future.

  We propose leveraging the principle of chunking to interpret artificial neural population activities. We first demonstrate this concept in recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained on artificial sequences with imposed regularities. We identify similar recurring embedding states corresponding to concepts in the input, with perturbations to these states activating or inhibiting the associated concepts.

• Addressing caveats of neural persistence with deep graph persistence [54.424983583720675]
  We find that the variance of network weights and spatial concentration of large weights are the main factors that impact neural persistence. We propose an extension of the filtration underlying neural persistence to the whole neural network instead of single layers. This yields our deep graph persistence measure, which implicitly incorporates persistent paths through the network and alleviates variance-related issues.
