Spiking Neural Networks

[ˈspaɪkɪŋ ˈnjʊrəl ˈnɛtˌwɜrks]
Deep Learning
Last updated: December 9, 2024

Definition

Neural networks that more closely mimic biological neural networks by using discrete spikes for information transmission.

Detailed Explanation

SNNs process information through discrete events (spikes) rather than continuous values, similar to biological neurons. They offer potential advantages in energy efficiency and temporal information processing.

Use Cases

Neuromorphic hardware applications, Real-time sensor processing, Brain-computer interfaces
