SDSNN: A Single-Timestep Spiking Neural Network with Self-Dropping Neuron and Bayesian Optimization

  • 设计自降突触神经元,通过动态阈值增强信息承载能力
  • 单步推理下在多个数据集上准确率超传统SNN,能耗降低21%以上
  • 适合边缘计算场景,对低功耗智能设备有实际应用价值

脉冲神经网络(SNN)作为一种新兴的生物启发计算模型,因其事件驱动的信息处理机制展现出显著的能效优势。与传统人工神经网络相比,SNN通过离散脉冲信号传递信息,利用稀疏编码大幅降低计算能耗。然而,多时间步计算模式显著增加了推理延迟和能耗,限制了SNN在边缘计算中的应用。本文提出一种单时间步SNN,通过优化脉冲生成与时间参数,在单个时间步内提升准确率并降低计算能耗。设计了自降突触神经元机制,通过动态阈值调整和选择性脉冲抑制增强信息承载能力。同时采用贝叶斯优化全局搜索时间参数,获得高效的单时间步推理模式。在Fashion-MNIST、CIFAR-10和CIFAR-100数据集上的实验结果表明,相比使用漏积分-放电(LIF)模型的传统多时间步SNN,本方法仅用单时间步脉冲即实现93.72%、92.20%和69.45%的分类准确率,且能效分别降低56%、21%和22%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), as an emerging biologically inspired computational model, demonstrate significant energy efficiency advantages due to their event-driven information processing mechanism. Compared to traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), SNNs transmit information through discrete spike signals, which substantially reduces computational energy consumption through their sparse encoding approach. However, the multi-timestep computation model significantly increases inference latency and energy, limiting the applicability of SNNs in edge computing scenarios. We propose a single-timestep SNN, which enhances accuracy and reduces computational energy consumption in a single timestep by optimizing spike generation and temporal parameters. We design a Self-Dropping Neuron mechanism, which enhances information-carrying capacity through dynamic threshold adjustment and selective spike suppression. Furthermore, we employ Bayesian optimization to globally search for time parameters and obtain an efficient inference mode with a single time step. Experimental results on the Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets demonstrate that, compared to traditional multi-timestep SNNs employing the Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) model, our method achieves classification accuracies of 93.72%, 92.20%, and 69.45%, respectively, using only single-timestep spikes, while maintaining comparable or even superior accuracy. Additionally, it reduces energy consumption by 56%, 21%, and 22%, respectively.
