• Title: A Spiking Neuron Synaptic Plasticity Model Optimized for Unsupervised Learning
• Authors: Mikhail Kiselev
• Abstract summary: Spiking neural networks (SNN) are considered as a perspective basis for performing all kinds of learning tasks - unsupervised, supervised and reinforcement learning. Learning in SNN is implemented through synaptic plasticity - the rules which determine dynamics of synaptic weights depending usually on activity of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons.

• Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNN) are considered as a perspective basis for performing all kinds of learning tasks - unsupervised, supervised and reinforcement learning. Learning in SNN is implemented through synaptic plasticity - the rules which determine dynamics of synaptic weights depending usually on activity of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons. Diversity of various learning regimes assumes that different forms of synaptic plasticity may be most efficient for, for example, unsupervised and supervised learning, as it is observed in living neurons demonstrating many kinds of deviations from the basic spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) model. In the present paper, we formulate specific requirements to plasticity rules imposed by unsupervised learning problems and construct a novel plasticity model generalizing STDP and satisfying these requirements. This plasticity model serves as main logical component of the novel supervised learning algorithm called SCoBUL (Spike Correlation Based Unsupervised Learning) proposed in this work. We also present the results of computer simulation experiments confirming efficiency of these synaptic plasticity rules and the algorithm SCoBUL.

  Spiking neural networks have become an important family of neuron-based models that sidestep many of the key limitations facing modern-day backpropagation-trained deep networks. In this work, we design and investigate a proof-of-concept instantiation of contrastive-signal-dependent plasticity (CSDP), a neuromorphic form of forward-forward-based, backpropagation-free learning.
