Intrinsically Stable Spiking Neural Networks: Overcoming the Performance Barrier in the Absence of Batch Normalization
Ruichen Ma, Xiaoyang Zhang, Jian Bai, Guanchao Qiao, Liwei Meng, Ning Ning, et al.
The performance of deep spiking neural networks (SNNs) often relies on batch normalization (BN). However, the advanced dynamic BN variants used in state-of-the-art models introduce runtime multiplications, which weaken the hardware-efficiency motivation of SNNs. To address this t…
