• Abstract: Compared with rate-based artificial neural networks, Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) provide a more biological plausible model for the brain. But how they perform supervised learning remains elusive. Inspired by recent works of Bengio et al., we propose a supervised learning algorithm based on Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) for a hierarchical SNN consisting of Leaky Integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons. A time window is designed for the presynaptic neuron and only the spikes in this window take part in the STDP updating process. The model is trained on the MNIST dataset. The classification accuracy approach that of a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) with similar architecture trained by the standard back-propagation algorithm.

  Spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a general learning rule in the brain, but spiking neural networks (SNNs) trained with STDP alone is inefficient and perform poorly. We design an adaptive synaptic filter and introduce the adaptive spiking threshold to enrich the representation ability of SNNs. Our model achieves the current state-of-the-art performance of unsupervised STDP-based SNNs in the MNIST and FashionMNIST datasets.

  Current practice requires expensive computational costs in model training for performance prediction. We propose a novel framework for neural network selection by analyzing the governing dynamics over synaptic connections (edges) during training. Our framework is built on the fact that back-propagation during neural network training is equivalent to the dynamical evolution of synaptic connections.
