Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) SpikeProp, which is proposed by Booij, is a kind of spiking neural networks. It can learn the timing of output spikes, but cannot adjust the number of output spikes. Our research group has discussed the problem and proposed a learning method that can adjust both timing and number of spikes. However, its learning performance depends on the initial network structure (the number of hidden units, time delay, the number of sub-connections, and so on). In this article, we discuss the problem, especially the number of sub-connections. And, we proposed the method that suppress unnecessary sub-connections during its training according to spike timing. By some simple experiments, we show the effectiveness of our method.
