Brain-guided manifold transferring to improve the performance of spiking neural networks in image classification
Journal of computational neuroscience(2023)
摘要
Spiking neural networks (SNNs), as the third generation of neural networks, are based on biological models of human brain neurons. In this work, a shallow SNN plays the role of an explicit image decoder in the image classification. An LSTM-based EEG encoder is used to construct the EEG-based feature space, which is a discriminative space in viewpoint of classification accuracy by SVM. Then, the visual feature vectors extracted from SNN is mapped to the EEG-based discriminative features space by manifold transferring based on mutual k-Nearest Neighbors (Mk-NN MT). This proposed “Brain-guided system” improves the separability of the SNN-based visual feature space. In the test phase, the spike patterns extracted by SNN from the input image is mapped to LSTM-based EEG feature space, and then classified without need for the EEG signals. The SNN-based image encoder is trained by the conversion method and the results are evaluated and compared with other training methods on the challenging small ImageNet-EEG dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed transferring the manifold of the SNN-based feature space to LSTM-based EEG feature space leads to 14.25% improvement at most in the accuracy of image classification. Thus, embedding SNN in the brain-guided system which is trained on a small set, improves its performance in image classification.
