A Unified Framework for Soft Threshold Pruning

ICLR 2023poster

Soft threshold pruning is among the cutting-edge pruning methods with state-of-the-art performance. However, previous methods either perform aimless searching on the threshold scheduler or simply set the threshold trainable, lacking theoretical explanation from a unified perspective. In this work, w…

Parallel Spiking Neurons with High Efficiency and Ability to Learn Long-term Dependencies

NeurIPS 2023poster

Vanilla spiking neurons in Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) use charge-fire-reset neuronal dynamics, which can only be simulated serially and can hardly learn long-time dependencies. We find that when removing reset, the neuronal dynamics can be reformulated in a non-iterative form and parallelized. B…

Pruning of Deep Spiking Neural Networks through Gradient Rewiring

IJCAI 2021poster

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have been attached great importance due to their biological plausibility and high energy-efficiency on neuromorphic chips. As these chips are usually resource-constrained, the compression of SNNs is thus crucial along the road of practical use of SNNs. Most existing me…
