EICIL: Joint Excitatory Inhibitory Cycle Iteration Learning for Deep Spiking Neural Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have undergone continuous development and extensive research over the decades to improve biological plausibility while optimizing energy efficiency. However, traditional deep SNN training methods have some limitations, and they rely on strategies such as pre-training and fine-tuning, indirect encoding and reconstruction, and approximate gradients. These strategies lack complete training models and lack biocompatibility. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel learning method named Deep Spiking Neural Networks with Joint Excitatory Inhibition Loop Iterative Learning (EICIL). Inspired by biological neuron signal transmission, this method integrates excitatory and inhibitory behaviors in neurons, organically combining these two behavioral modes into one framework. EICIL significantly improves the biomimicry and adaptability of spiking neuron models and expands the representation space of spiking neurons. Extensive experiments based on EICIL and traditional learning methods show that EICIL outperforms traditional methods on various datasets such as CIFAR10 and CIFAR100, demonstrating the key role of learning methods that integrate both behaviors during training.

It also incorporates Python programs that can train and test the models mentioned in this paper. By inheriting the classes, users can easily build their own models that can be trained and tested by LithoBench, without the need of writing the code for data loading and evaluation. For average pooling, we use a kernel size of 7 and a stride of 1. PyTorch builtin functions so that an SGD optimizer with a learning rate of 0.5 can be used to optimize Table 1 compares the performance of our reference IL T algorithm with SOT A IL T algorithms. We provide the PNG images of the all data. The connections between adjacent vertices are horizontal or vertical. In this section, we describe the details of the DNN models used in this paper.
