Latency and accuracy tradeoffs in Spiking Neural Networks
Zhanglu Yan, Zixuan Zhu, Kaiwen Tang +3
Spiking neural networks are attractive for low-power speech command recognition, yet their latency has received far less attention than their energy efficiency, and their multi-tim…
Kirin: Improving ANN efficiency with SNN Hybridization
Chenyu Wang, Zhanglu Yan, Zhi Zhou +2
Artificial neural networks (ANNs), particularly large language models (LLMs), demonstrate powerful inference capabilities but consume substantial energy. Conversely, spiking neural…
Matterhorn: Masked Time-to-First-Spike Encoding by Reassigning the Silent State for Sparse and Energy-Efficient Spiking Transformers
Zhanglu Yan, Kaiwen Tang, Zixuan Zhu +4
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise energy-efficient inference for large language models (LLMs), yet most reported savings rely on compute-operation counts that overlook data mo…
Energy-Efficient and Dequantization-Free Q-LLMs: A Spiking Neural Network Approach to Salient Value Mitigation
Chenyu Wang, Zhanglu Yan, Zhi Zhou +2
In the era of large language models (LLMs), weight-activation quantization helps fit models on edge device by reducing memory and compute bit-widths. However, three challenges pers…
Otters: An Energy-Efficient SpikingTransformer via Optical Time-to-First-Spike Encoding
Zhanglu Yan, Jiayi Mao, Qianhui Liu +5
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) promise high energy efficiency, particularly with time-to-first-spike (TTFS) encoding, which maximizes sparsity by emitting at most one spike per neu…
Improve Long-term Memory Learning Through Rescaling the Error Temporally
Shida Wang, Zhanglu Yan
This paper studies the error metric selection for long-term memory learning in sequence modelling. We examine the bias towards short-term memory in commonly used errors, including…
Efficient Hyperdimensional Computing
Zhanglu Yan, Shida Wang, Kaiwen Tang +1
Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is a method to perform classification that uses binary vectors with high dimensions and the majority rule. This approach has the potential to be en…
