Spiking-YOLO: Spiking Neural Network for Energy-Efficient Object Detection

Understand

Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in a variety of applications.

• As we try to solve more advanced problems, increasing demands for computing and power resources has become inevitable.
• Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have attracted widespread interest as the third-generation of neural networks due to their event-driven and low-powered nature.
• SNNs, however, are difficult to train, mainly owing to their complex dynamics of neurons and non-differentiable spike operations.
