Recurrent spiking neural networks (RSNNs) are notoriously difficult to train because of the vanishing gradient problem that is enhanced by the binary nature of the spikes.

Using a simple machine learning algorithm after spike encoding, we report performance higher than the state-of-the-art spiking neural networks on two open-source datasets for hand gesture recognition.

The performance of a network in a task can be predicted by a score, even before the network is trained: this is referred to as zero-shot NAS.

Backpropagation algorithms on recurrent artificial neural networks require an unfolding of accumulated states over time.
