• Abstract: Spiking neural networks play an important role in brain-like neuromorphic computations and in studying working mechanisms of neural circuits. One drawback of training a large scale spiking neural network is that updating all weights is quite expensive. Furthermore, after training, all information related to the computational task is hidden into the weight matrix, prohibiting us from a transparent understanding of circuit mechanisms. Therefore, in this work, we address these challenges by proposing a spiking mode-based training protocol, where the recurrent weight matrix is explained as a Hopfield-like multiplication of three matrices: input, output modes and a score matrix. The first advantage is that the weight is interpreted by input and output modes and their associated scores characterizing the importance of each decomposition term. The number of modes is thus adjustable, allowing more degrees of freedom for modeling the experimental data. This significantly reduces the training cost because of significantly reduced space complexity for learning. Training spiking networks is thus carried out in the mode-score space. The second advantage is that one can project the high dimensional neural activity (filtered spike train) in the state space onto the mode space which is typically of a low dimension, e.g., a few modes are sufficient to capture the shape of the underlying neural manifolds. We successfully apply our framework in two computational tasks -- digit classification and selective sensory integration tasks. Our method accelerate the training of spiking neural networks by a Hopfield-like decomposition, and moreover this training leads to low-dimensional attractor structures of high-dimensional neural dynamics.

  Deep neural networks give us a powerful method to model the training dataset's relationship between input and output. We show the training response consists of some different factors based on training stages, activation functions, or training methods. In addition, we show feature space reduction as an effect of training dynamics, which can result in network fragility.

  A potential solution to this issue is Neuro-Symbolic Integration (NeSy), where neural approaches are combined with symbolic reasoning. Most of these methods exploit a neural network to map perceptions to symbols and a logical reasoner to predict the output of the downstream task. They suffer from several issues, including slow convergence, learning difficulties with complex perception tasks, and convergence to local minima. This paper proposes a simple yet effective method to ameliorate these problems.

• A Sparse Quantized Hopfield Network for Online-Continual Memory [0.0]
  Nervous systems learn online where a stream of noisy data points are presented in a non-independent, identically distributed (non-i.i.d.) way. Deep networks, on the other hand, typically use non-local learning algorithms and are trained in an offline, non-noisy, i.i.d. setting. We implement this kind of model in a novel neural network called the Sparse Quantized Hopfield Network (SQHN)

• 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.

  We propose a new approach, namely the weight pathway analysis (WPA), to study the mechanism of multilayer neural networks. WPA shows that a neural network stores and utilizes information in a "holographic" way, that is, the network encodes all training samples in a coherent structure. It is found that hidden-layer neurons self-organize into different classes in the later stages of the learning process.
