Towards Memory- and Time-Efficient Backpropagation for Training Spiking Neural Networks

ICCV 2023poster

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are promising energy-efficient models for neuromorphic computing. For training the non-differentiable SNN models, the backpropagation through time (BPTT) with surrogate gradients (SG) method has achieved high performance. However, this method suffers from considerable…

Training High-Performance Low-Latency Spiking Neural Networks by Differentiation on Spike Representation

CVPR 2022poster

Spiking Neural Network (SNN) is a promising energy-efficient AI model when implemented on neuromorphic hardware. However, it is a challenge to efficiently train SNNs due to their non-differentiability. Most existing methods either suffer from high latency (i.e., long simulation time steps), or canno…

Training Feedback Spiking Neural Networks by Implicit Differentiation on the Equilibrium State

NeurIPS 2021spotlight

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are brain-inspired models that enable energy-efficient implementation on neuromorphic hardware. However, the supervised training of SNNs remains a hard problem due to the discontinuity of the spiking neuron model. Most existing methods imitate the backpropagation frame…
