FIRING RATE INDEPENDENT SPIKE MESSAGE PASSING IN LARGE SCALE NEURAL NETWORK MODELING |
摘要 |
A neural network portion comprising N pre-synaptic neurons capable each of firing an action potential, wherein the number N can be encoded in a word of n bits;
the neural network portion being provided for, upon firing of a number F of pre-synaptic neurons in a predetermined period of time:if F.n<N, generating a first type message, the message comprising a unique address for each pre-synaptic neuron having fired in said predetermined period of time, each address being encoded as a word of n bits; andif F.n>N, generating a second type message, the message comprising N bits and being encoded in words of n bits, wherein each one of said N pre-synaptic neurons is represented by a unique bit, each bit having a first value if the pre-synaptic neuron represented by the bit fired in said predetermined period of time, and a second value otherwise. |

1. A neural network portion comprising a number N of pre-synaptic neurons capable each of firing an action potential, wherein N can be encoded in a word of n bits;
the neural network portion being provided for, upon firing of a number F of pre-synaptic neurons in a predetermined period of time: if F.n<N, generating a message of a first type, the message comprising a unique address for each pre-synaptic neuron having fired in said predetermined period of time, each address being encoded as a word of n bits; and if F.n>N, generating a message of a second type, the message comprising N bits and being encoded in words of n bits, wherein each one of said N pre-synaptic neurons is represented by a unique bit, each bit having a first value if the pre-synaptic neuron represented by the bit has fired in said predetermined period of time, and a second value otherwise.
