Abstract

In this work, we apply a spiking neural network model and an associated memristive neuromorphic implementation to an application in classifying temporal scientific data. We demonstrate that the spiking neural network model achieves comparable results to a previously reported convolutional neural network model, with significantly fewer neurons and synapses required.
