Complex Dynamic Neurons Improved Spiking Transformer Network for Efficient Automatic Speech Recognition

AAAI 2023technical

The spiking neural network (SNN) using leaky-integrated-and-fire (LIF) neurons has been commonly used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks. However, the LIF neuron is still relatively simple compared to that in the biological brain. Further research on more types of neurons with different sca…

ODE-based Recurrent Model-free Reinforcement Learning for POMDPs

NeurIPS 2023poster

Neural ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely recognized as the standard for modeling physical mechanisms, which help to perform approximate inference in unknown physical or biological environments. In partially observable (PO) environments, how to infer unseen information from raw observ…

Motif-Topology and Reward-Learning Improved Spiking Neural Network for Efficient Multi-Sensory Integration

ICASSP 2022accepted

Network architectures and learning principles are key in forming complex functions in artificial neural networks (ANNs) and spiking neural networks (SNNs). SNNs are considered the new-generation artificial networks by incorporating more biological features than ANNs, including dynamic spiking neuron…
