Supervised Learning with First-to-Spike Decoding in Multilayer Spiking Neural Networks

no code implementations16 Aug 2020 Brian Gardner, André Grüning

The proposed learning rule supports multiple spikes fired by stochastic hidden neurons, and yet is stable by relying on first-spike responses generated by a deterministic output layer.

Supervised Learning in Temporally-Coded Spiking Neural Networks with Approximate Backpropagation

no code implementations27 Jul 2020 Andrew Stephan, Brian Gardner, Steven J. Koester, Andre Gruning

In this work we propose a new supervised learning method for temporally-encoded multilayer spiking networks to perform classification.

An Introduction to Probabilistic Spiking Neural Networks: Probabilistic Models, Learning Rules, and Applications

no code implementations2 Oct 2019 Hyeryung Jang, Osvaldo Simeone, Brian Gardner, André Grüning

The sparsity of the synaptic spiking inputs and the corresponding event-driven nature of neural processing can be leveraged by energy-efficient hardware implementations, which can offer significant energy reductions as compared to conventional artificial neural networks (ANNs).

Variational Inference

An Introduction to Spiking Neural Networks: Probabilistic Models, Learning Rules, and Applications

no code implementations10 Dec 2018 Hyeryung Jang, Osvaldo Simeone, Brian Gardner, André Grüning

This paper aims at providing an introduction to SNNs by focusing on a probabilistic signal processing methodology that enables the direct derivation of learning rules leveraging the unique time encoding capabilities of SNNs.

Supervised Learning in Spiking Neural Networks for Precise Temporal Encoding

no code implementations14 Jan 2016 Brian Gardner, André Grüning

We also find FILT to be most efficient at performing input pattern memorisations, and most noticeably when patterns are identified using spikes with sub-millisecond temporal precision.

Encoding Spike Patterns in Multilayer Spiking Neural Networks

no code implementations31 Mar 2015 Brian Gardner, Ioana Sporea, André Grüning

Information encoding in the nervous system is supported through the precise spike-timings of neurons; however, an understanding of the underlying processes by which such representations are formed in the first place remains unclear.
