Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Our approach has achieved state-of-the-art results on mainstream neuromorphic datasets. Additionally, we have reached a performance of 77.1% on the Imagenet-1K dataset using a 104-layer Res Net architecture enhanced with SMA and AZO. This achievement confirms the state-of-the-art performance of SNNs with non-transformer architectures and underscores the effectiveness of our method in bridging the performance gap between SNN models and traditional ANN models.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Attention Zoneout
Open Source Code Yes Code https://github.com/Ym Shan/SMA-AZO
Open Datasets Yes Even with the use of spiking coding, the spatiotemporal interaction in static image datasets remains limited. Therefore, we only evaluated the classification performance of our proposed SMA-SNN and SMA-AZO-SNN architectures on three prominent neuromorphic datasets (DVS128 Gesture (Amir et al. 2017), CIFAR10-DVS (Li et al. 2017), and N-Caltech101 (Orchard et al. 2015)) as well as the Image Net-1K dataset (Deng et al. 2009).
