用脉冲神经网络模拟视觉皮层拓扑结构,兼顾生物真实性和识别性能。

TDSNNs: Competitive Topographic Deep Spiking Neural Networks for Visual Cortex Modeling

  • 设计时空约束损失函数,让脉冲网络自动生成类脑拓扑特征。
  • ImageNet上识别准确率零下降,优于现有拓扑人工神经网络。
  • 揭示拓扑结构提升脉冲网络的稳定性和信息处理效率,适合类脑计算研究。

灵长类视觉皮层具有拓扑组织特性,功能相似的神经元在空间上聚集,被认为能提升神经处理效率。尽管已有研究证明传统深度人工神经网络(ANN)可生成拓扑表征,但普遍忽略关键的时间动态,导致物体识别等任务性能显著下降,且生物真实性不足。为此,本文采用脉冲神经网络(SNN),其天然具备基于脉冲的时间动态建模能力,更具生物合理性。提出一种新型时空约束(STC)损失函数,用于拓扑深度脉冲神经网络(TDSNN),成功从低级感觉输入到高级抽象表示,复现了灵长类视觉皮层的层次化空间功能组织。实验表明,STC有效生成代表性拓扑特征。引入拓扑结构通常使ANN性能大幅下降,而本方法在ImageNet上的Top-1准确率未出现下降,相较目前表现最佳的拓扑人工神经网络TopoNet(性能下降3%)具有显著优势,并在脑似性方面更优。此外,拓扑组织通过脉冲机制促进高效稳定的时序信息处理,增强模型鲁棒性。这些结果表明,TDSNN在计算性能与类脑特征间取得良好平衡,不仅为神经科学现象提供解释框架,也为设计更高效、稳健的深度学习模型提供新思路。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The primate visual cortex exhibits topographic organization, where functionally similar neurons are spatially clustered, a structure widely believed to enhance neural processing efficiency. While prior works have demonstrated that conventional deep ANNs can develop topographic representations, these models largely neglect crucial temporal dynamics. This oversight often leads to significant performance degradation in tasks like object recognition and compromises their biological fidelity. To address this, we leverage spiking neural networks (SNNs), which inherently capture spike-based temporal dynamics and offer enhanced biological plausibility. We propose a novel Spatio-Temporal Constraints (STC) loss function for topographic deep spiking neural networks (TDSNNs), successfully replicating the hierarchical spatial functional organization observed in the primate visual cortex from low-level sensory input to high-level abstract representations. Our results show that STC effectively generates representative topographic features across simulated visual cortical areas. While introducing topography typically leads to significant performance degradation in ANNs, our spiking architecture exhibits a remarkably small performance drop (No drop in ImageNet top-1 accuracy, compared to a 3% drop observed in TopoNet, which is the best-performing topographic ANN so far) and outperforms topographic ANNs in brain-likeness. We also reveal that topographic organization facilitates efficient and stable temporal information processing via the spike mechanism in TDSNNs, contributing to model robustness. These findings suggest that TDSNNs offer a compelling balance between computational performance and brain-like features, providing not only a framework for interpreting neural science phenomena but also novel insights for designing more efficient and robust deep learning models.
