  • 适合追求低延迟、高能效的类脑计算系统研发者

二进制脉冲编码虽支持稀疏和事件驱动计算,但每时刻仅1比特表示严重限制信息吞吐量。在短仿真时长下,深层网络性能受限更明显。本文提出量化爆发-积分发放(QB-LIF)神经元,将爆发脉冲重构为膜电位的饱和均匀量化,并引入可学习的量化尺度。该尺度作为可训练参数,使各层能根据膜电位统计特性自主调整脉冲分辨率。为保持硬件效率,设计可吸收尺度策略,将学习到的量化尺度融合至突触权重中,维持严格的累加仅(AC)执行模式。为在离散多级空间实现稳定优化,提出带指数尾部的修正线性代理梯度(ReLSG-ET),确保跨脉冲间隔的梯度流动。在静态(CIFAR-10/100、ImageNet)和事件驱动(CIFAR10-DVS、DVS128-Gesture)基准上的大量实验表明,QB-LIF持续优于二进制和固定爆发型SNN,在超低延迟下仍保持更高准确率,并兼容类脑硬件。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Binary spike coding enables sparse and event-driven computation in spiking neural networks (SNNs), yet its 1-bit-per-timestep representation fundamentally limits information throughput. This bottleneck becomes increasingly restrictive in deep architectures under short simulation horizons. We propose the Quantized Burst-LIF (QB-LIF) neuron, which reformulates burst spiking as a saturated uniform quantization of membrane potentials with a learnable scale. Instead of relying on predefined multi-threshold structures, QB-LIF treats the quantization scale as a trainable parameter, allowing each layer to autonomously adapt its spiking resolution to the underlying membrane-potential statistics. To preserve hardware efficiency, we introduce an absorbable scale strategy that folds the learned quantized scale into synaptic weights during inference, maintaining a strict accumulate-only (AC) execution paradigm. To enable stable optimization in the discrete multi-level space, we further design ReLSG-ET, a rectified-linear surrogate gradient with exponential tails that sustains gradient flow across burst intervals. Extensive experiments on static (CIFAR-10/100, ImageNet) and event-driven (CIFAR10-DVS, DVS128-Gesture) benchmarks demonstrate that QB-LIF consistently outperforms binary and fixed-burst SNNs, achieving higher accuracy under ultra-low latency while preserving neuromorphic compatibility.
