arXiv:2610.19732v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Exploiting temporal information in datasets with high temporal dependencies (such as spoken keyword recognition) by spiking models is still an open problem. Promising frameworks include Time-To-First coding (TTFS) and the inclusion of synaptic delays into learning. In TTFS, neurons are forced to spike at most once, forcing the network to found its learning on the spiking times of neurons rather than their spiking rate. Some models use the TTFS framework to directly compute the spiking time of Integrate-and-Fire (IF) or Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neurons. However, most models built in the TTFS framework have not been tested against datasets containing temporal information. Little is known about the latency of these models on temporal datasets, where the latency is the time taken by the network to correctly classify a sample. In this work, we study the behaviour of Delay Neural Networks (DeNN) models, i.e. models that directly compute t...
