Adaptive Integrate-and-Fire Time Encoding Machine with Quantization
An integrate-and-fire time-encoding machine (IF-TEM) is an effective asynchronous sampler that translates amplitude information into non-uniform time sequences. In this work, we propose a novel Adaptive IF-TEM (AIF-TEM) approach. This design dynamically adjusts the TEM's sensitivity to changes in the input signal's amplitude and frequency in real-time. We provide a comprehensive analysis of AIF-TEM's oversampling and distortion properties. By the adaptive adjustments, AIF-TEM as we show can achieve significant performance improvements in terms of sampling rate-distortion in a practical finite regime. We demonstrate empirically that in the scenarios tested AIF-TEM outperforms classical IF-TEM and traditional Nyquist (i.e., periodic) sampling methods for band-limited signals. In terms of Mean Square Error (MSE), the reduction reaches at least 12dB (fixing the oversampling rate). Additionally, we investigate the quantization process for AIF-TEM and analyze the quantization MSE bound. Empirical results show that classic quantization for AIF-TEM improves performance by at least 14 dB compared to IF-TEM. We introduce a dynamic quantization technique for AIF-TEM, which further improves performance compared to classic quantization. Empirically, this reduction reaches at least 10 dB compared to classic quantization for AIF-TEM.

Time-encoding of continuous-time signals is an alternative sampling paradigm to conventional methods such as Shannon's sampling. In time-encoding, the signal is encoded using a sequence of time instants where an event oc…
A Time Encoding approach to training Spiking Neural Networks
While Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have been gaining in popularity, it seems that the algorithms used to train them are not powerful enough to solve the same tasks as those tackled by classical Artificial Neural Networ…
