摘要

En 中文
Spiking neural networks (SNNs), which are the next generation of artificial neural networks (ANNs), offer a closer mimicry to natural neural networks and hold promise for significant improvements in computational efficiency. However, the current SNN model is trained to infer over a fixed duration, thereby overlooking the potential for dynamic inference in the SNN model. In this paper, we strengthen the relationship between SNN and event-driven processing by proposing the inclusion of a cutoff in SNN, that can terminate SNN at any time during inference to achieve efficient inference. Two novel optimization techniques are presented to achieve an inference-efficient SNN: a Top-K cutoff and regularization. The proposed regularization influences the training process by optimizing the SNN for the cutoff, whereas the Top-K cutoff technique optimizes the inference phase. We conducted an extensive set of experiments on multiple benchmark frame-based datasets, such as CIFAR10/100, Tiny-ImageNet, and event-based datasets, including CIFAR10-DVS, N-Caltech101, and DVS128 Gesture. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques in both the ANN-to-SNN conversion and direct training, enabling SNNs to require 1.76 to 2.76 x fewer timesteps for CIFAR-10, while achieving 1.64 to 1.95x fewer timesteps across all event-based datasets, with near-zero accuracy loss. These findings affirm the compatibility and potential benefits of the proposed techniques in terms of enhancing accuracy and reducing inference latency when integrated with existing methods.
