Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise high energy efficiency, particularly with time-to-first-spike (TTFS) encoding, which maximizes sparsity by emitting at most one spike per neuron. However, such energy advantage is often unrealized because inference requires evaluating a temporal decay function…
Event cameras have attracted considerable attention for object tracking due to their microsecond-level temporal resolution and wide dynamic range, yet effectively harnessing spiking neural networks (SNNs) in this domain remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce SpikeTrack, a purely spike-driv
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are increasingly applied to event-based data generated by event cameras due to their asynchronous and sparse properties. Event cameras can inherently respond to the changes in the scene, which is a quite desirable property for action recognition tasks. However, existin…
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) mimic the information-processing mechanisms of the human brain and are highly energy-efficient, making them well-suited for low-power edge devices. However, the pursuit of accuracy in current studies leads to large, long-timestep SNNs, conflicting with the resource con…
Speech applications are expected to be low-power and robust under noisy conditions. An effective Voice Activity Detection (VAD) front-end lowers the computational need. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are known to be biologically plausible and power-efficient. However, SNN-based VADs have yet to achi…
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have increasingly drawn massive research attention due to biological interpretability and efficient computation. Recent achievements are devoted to utilizing the surrogate gradient (SG) method to avoid the dilemma of non-differentiability of spiking activity to directl…
Human brain can effectively integrate visual and auditory information. Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) and Dynamic Audio Sensor (DAS) are event-based sensors imitating the mechanism of human retina and cochlea. Since the sensors record the visual and auditory input as asynchronous discrete events, they…
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are bio-inspired neural networks with asynchronous discrete and sparse characteristics, which have increasingly manifested their superiority in low energy consumption. Recent research is devoted to utilizing spatio-temporal information to directly train SNNs by backpro…
A quality headline with a high click-rate should not only summarize the content of an article, but also reflect a style that attracts users. Such demand has drawn rising attention to the task of stylistic headline generation (SHG). An intuitive method is to first generate plain headlines leveraged b…
Recent advances in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) have largely promoted the performance of adaptive traffic signal control (ATSC). Nevertheless, regarding the implementation, most works are cumbersome in terms of storage and computation. This hinders their deployment on scenarios where resources…
Event-based cameras have attracted increasing attention due to their advantages of biologically inspired paradigm and low power consumption. Since event-based cameras record the visual input as asynchronous discrete events, they are inherently suitable to cooperate with the spiking neural network (S…
In ad-hoc teamwork, an agent is required to cooperate with unknown teammates without prior coordination. To swiftly adapt to an unknown teammate, most works adopt a type-based approach, which pre-trains the agent with a set of pre-prepared teammate types, then associates the unknown teammate with a…
