Inherent Adversarial Robustness of Deep Spiking Neural Networks: Effects of Discrete Input Encoding and Non-Linear Activations

In the recent quest for trustworthy neural networks, we present Spiking Neural Network (SNN) as a potential candidate for inherent robustness against adversarial attacks. In this work, we demonstrate that adversarial accuracy of SNNs under gradient-based attacks is higher than their non-spiking coun…
