Synaptic Modulation using Interspike Intervals Increases Energy Efficiency of Spiking Neural Networks

Dylan Adams, Magda Zajaczkowska, Ashiq Anjum +2

Despite basic differences between Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), most research on SNNs involve adapting ANN-based methods for SNNs. Pruning (dr…

Context Meta-Reinforcement Learning via Neuromodulation

Eseoghene Ben-Iwhiwhu, Jeffery Dick, Nicholas A. Ketz +2

Meta-reinforcement learning (meta-RL) algorithms enable agents to adapt quickly to tasks from few samples in dynamic environments. Such a feat is achieved through dynamic represent…

Short-term plasticity as cause-effect hypothesis testing in distal reward learning

Andrea Soltoggio

Asynchrony, overlaps and delays in sensory-motor signals introduce ambiguity as to which stimuli, actions, and rewards are causally related. Only the repetition of reward episodes…
