I hypothesized that spiking neural networks would outperform CNNs on temporal tasks. I was wrong. Background My previous experiment showed SNNs match CNNs on static image classification (97.4% vs 97.8% on MNIST) but are 36x slower on conventional hardware. The obvious follow-up: test tasks where te…
