Title:Energy-based Probing for Spiking Neural Networks
Abstract:
Deep neural networks have made significant strides in various domains, but they often require substantial computational resources due to extensive matrix multiplication even for inference. As a result, energy consumption becomes a concern especially for mobile devices. Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have garnered increasing attention due to their potential for low-energy real-world applications. However, SNNs currently face two primary challenges: the non-differentiability of the spike firing function and the performance gap between artificial neural networks (ANNs) and SNNs. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts to address these challenges and present potential solutions.
