Abstract
- A thorny problem in machine learning is how to extract useful clues related to delayed feedback signals from the clutter of input activity, known as the temporal credit-assignment problem. The aggregate-label learning algorithms make an explicit representation of this problem by training spiking neurons to assign the aggregate feedback signal to potentially effective clues. However, earlier aggregate-label learning algorithms suffered from inefficiencies due to the large amount of computation, while recent algorithms that have solved this problem may fail to learn due to the inability to find adjustment points. Therefore, we propose a membrane voltage slope guided algorithm (VSG) to further cope with this limitation. Direct dependence on the membrane voltage when finding the key point of weight adjustment makes VSG avoid intensive calculation, but more importantly, the membrane voltage that always exists makes it impossible to lose the adjustment point. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can correlate delayed feedback signals with the effective clues embedded in background spiking activity, and also achieves excellent performance on real medical classification datasets and speech classification datasets. The superior performance makes it a meaningful reference for aggregate-label learning on spiking neural networks.
