QB-LIF: Learnable-Scale Quantized Burst Neurons for Efficient SNNs

Binary spike coding enables sparse and event-driven computation in spiking neural networks (SNNs), yet its 1-bit-per-timestep representation fundamentally limits information throughput. This bottleneck becomes increasingly restrictive in deep architectures under short simulation horizons. We propose the Quantized Burst-LIF (QB-LIF) neuron, which reformulates burst spiking as a saturated uniform quantization of membrane potentials with a learnable scale. Instead of relying on predefined multi-threshold structures, QB-LIF treats the quantization scale as a trainable parameter, allowing each layer to autonomously adapt its spiking resolution to the underlying membrane-potential statistics. To preserve hardware efficiency, we introduce an absorbable scale strategy that folds the learned quantized scale into synaptic weights during inference, maintaining a strict accumulate-only (AC) execution paradigm. To enable stable optimization in the discrete multi-level space, we further design ReLSG-ET, a rectified-linear surrogate gradient with exponential tails that sustains gradient flow across burst intervals. Extensive experiments on static (CIFAR-10/100, ImageNet) and event-driven (CIFAR10-DVS, DVS128-Gesture) benchmarks demonstrate that QB-LIF consistently outperforms binary and fixed-burst SNNs, achieving higher accuracy under ultra-low latency while preserving neuromorphic compatibility.

Deep Dictionary Learning with An Intra-class Constraint

In recent years, deep dictionary learning (DDL)has attracted a great amount of attention due to its effectiveness for representation learning and visual recognition.~However, most existing methods focus on unsupervised deep dictionary learning, failing to further explore the category information.~To make full use of the category information of different samples, we propose a novel deep dictionary learning model with an intra-class constraint (DDLIC) for visual classification. Specifically, we design the intra-class compactness constraint on the intermediate representation at different levels to encourage the intra-class representations to be closer to each other, and eventually the learned representation becomes more discriminative.~Unlike the traditional DDL methods, during the classification stage, our DDLIC performs a layer-wise greedy optimization in a similar way to the training stage. Experimental results on four image datasets show that our method is superior to the state-of-the-art methods.

RegNet: Self-Regulated Network for Image Classification

The ResNet and its variants have achieved remarkable successes in various computer vision tasks. Despite its success in making gradient flow through building blocks, the simple shortcut connection mechanism limits the ability of re-exploring new potentially complementary features due to the additive function. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose to introduce a regulator module as a memory mechanism to extract complementary features, which are further fed to the ResNet. In particular, the regulator module is composed of convolutional RNNs (e.g., Convolutional LSTMs or Convolutional GRUs), which are shown to be good at extracting Spatio-temporal information. We named the new regulated networks as RegNet. The regulator module can be easily implemented and appended to any ResNet architecture. We also apply the regulator module for improving the Squeeze-and-Excitation ResNet to show the generalization ability of our method. Experimental results on three image classification datasets have demonstrated the promising performance of the proposed architecture compared with the standard ResNet, SE-ResNet, and other state-of-the-art architectures.
