A discussion on training algorithm for timing of multiple spikes in Spiking Neural Networks

- Reduce redundant spikes -

Abstract

Recently, spiking neural networks, which represent information by spikes, are widely used in many fields, especially time series pattern recognition. In this article, we focus on extended SpikeProp, which is a kind of spiking neural networks. It can adjust the timing of multiple spikes on output units, but outputs many redundant spikes. We discuss methods to reduce redundant spikes.
