Minibatch Processing in Spiking Neural Networks

1 code implementation5 Sep 2019 Daniel J. Saunders, Cooper Sigrist, Kenneth Chaney, Robert Kozma, Hava T. Siegelmann

To our knowledge, this is the first general-purpose implementation of mini-batch processing in a spiking neural networks simulator, which works with arbitrary neuron and synapse models.

Lattice Map Spiking Neural Networks (LM-SNNs) for Clustering and Classifying Image Data

no code implementations4 Jun 2019 Hananel Hazan, Daniel J. Saunders, Darpan T. Sanghavi, Hava Siegelmann, Robert Kozma

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) with a lattice architecture are introduced in this work, combining several desirable properties of SNNs and self-organized maps (SOMs).
