New algorithm enables globally optimal training for Spiking Neural Networks

Researchers have developed a new parameter reconstruction algorithm for training Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). This method aims to overcome the approximation errors inherent in traditional surrogate gradient training by leveraging a theoretical framework for recurrent threshold networks. The algorithm shows significant advantages in various tasks, both independently and when combined with existing methods, and demonstrates scalability and robustness for large-scale SNN training. AI

    Globally Optimal Training of Spiking Neural Networks via Parameter Reconstruction

    Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have been proposed as biologically plausible and energy-efficient alternatives to conventional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). However, the training of SNN usually relies on surrogate gradients due to the non-differentiability of the spike functi…
