Noisy group neurons with synchronous resetting for high-performance spiking neural networks

This work proposes a noisy group neuron (NGN) model, which incorporates population-level synchronous resetting and neural stochasticity as fundamental computational mechanisms, and develops the NGN method as a framework that combines the NGN model with backpropagation learning based on mean-field dynamics.

Why temporal spike order reversal drops spiking network accuracy and how to partially mitigate it

This study identifies a critical vulnerability in SNNs on recently established bit-based codes: consistent performance degradation when temporal spike encoding orders are reversed, and measures the per-timestep class-mutual-information profile of six encodings directly and shows that the resulting concordance ordering...
