Heterogeneous Recurrent Spiking Neural Network for Spatio-Temporal Classification

Spiking Neural Networks are often touted as brain-inspired learning models for the third wave of Artificial Intelligence. Although recent SNNs trained with supervised backpropagation show classification accuracy comparable to deep networks, the performance of unsupervised learning-based SNNs remains much lower. This paper presents a heterogeneous recurrent spiking neural network (HRSNN) with unsupervised learning for spatio-temporal classification of video activity recognition tasks on RGB (KTH, UCF11, UCF101) and event-based datasets (DVS128 Gesture). The key novelty of the HRSNN is that the recurrent layer in HRSNN consists of heterogeneous neurons with varying firing/relaxation dynamics, and they are trained via heterogeneous spike-time-dependent-plasticity (STDP) with varying learning dynamics for each synapse. We show that this novel combination of heterogeneity in architecture and learning method outperforms current homogeneous spiking neural networks. We further show that HRSNN can achieve similar performance to state-of-the-art backpropagation trained supervised SNN, but with less computation (fewer neurons and sparse connection) and less training data.
