Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate that fixed-weight layers, generated from random distribution or logistic functions, can effectively extract significant features from input data, resulting in high accuracy on a variety of tasks, including Fisher’s iris, Wisconsin Breast Cancer, and MNIST datasets. We have observed that logistic functions yield high accuracy with less dispersion in results. We have also assessed the precision of our approach under conditions of minimizing spikes number generated in the network, it is a practically useful for reducing energy consumption in spiking neural networks. Our findings reveal that the proposed method demonstrates a highest accuracy on Fisher’s iris and MNIST datasets with logistic regression. Furthermore, they surpass the accuracy of the conventional (non-spiking) approach using logistic regression in the case of Wisconsin Breast Cancer. We have also investigated the impact of non-stochastic spike generation on accuracy.
