Hybrid Spiking Neural Network -- Transformer Video Classification Model

Aaron Bateni

In recent years, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have gathered significant interest due to their temporal understanding capabilities. This work introduces, to the best of our knowledge, the first Cortical Column like hybrid architecture for the Time-Series Data Classification Task that leverages SNNs and is inspired by the brain structure, inspired from the previous hybrid models. We introduce several encoding methods to use with this model. Finally, we develop a procedure for training this network on the training dataset. As an effort to make using these models simpler, we make all the implementations available to the public.
