Neuronal Competition Groups with Supervised STDP for Spike-Based Classification
Spike Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) is a promising substitute to backprop-agation for local training of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) on neuromorphic hardware. STDP allows SNNs to address classification tasks by combining unsupervised STDP for feature extraction and supervised STDP for classification. Unsupervised STDP is usually employed with Winner-Takes-All (WT A) competition to learn distinct patterns.
