Fluctuation-driven initialization for spiking neural network training
Surrogate gradients are a great tool for training spiking neural networks in computational neuroscience and neuromorphic engineering, but what is a good initialization? In our new preprint co-led by Julian and Julia, we lay outContinue reading
Story on Spiking Neural Networks
Here is a quick shout-out to this nice news story on spiking nets and surrogate gradients by Anil Ananthaswamy, the Science Communicator in Residence at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing in Berkeley.Continue reading
Announcing the SNUFA 2021 workshop
I am stoked about our second edition of our successful SNUFA workshop on “spiking neural networks as universal function approximators,” on 2-3 November 2021 (we shifted from the original date a week later to avoidContinue reading
