SNN Based
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), inspired by the brain's biological neural networks, aim to create energy-efficient artificial intelligence by processing information via discrete spikes. Current research focuses on improving SNN performance and training efficiency through hybrid SNN-ANN architectures, novel neuron models (e.g., Complementary Leaky Integrate-and-Fire), advanced training methods like knowledge distillation and contrastive learning, and optimized hardware implementations for faster training and inference. These advancements are significant because they address the limitations of traditional ANNs in terms of energy consumption and pave the way for deploying AI in resource-constrained environments, particularly for applications like real-time object detection and industrial fault diagnosis.
