Sparse Hardware Embedding of Spiking Neuron Systems for Community Detection

Sparse Hardware Embedding of Spiking Neuron Systems for Community Detection We study the applicability of spiking neural networks and neuromorphic hardware for solving general opti- mization problems without the use of adaptive training or learning algorithms. We leverage the dynamics of Hopfield networks and spin-glass systems to construct a fully connected spiking neural system to generate synchronous spike responses indicative of the underlying community structure in an undirected, unweighted graph. Mapping this fully connected system to current generation neuromorphic hardware is done by embedding sparse tree graphs to generate only the leading-order spiking dynamics. We demonstrate that for a chosen set of benchmark graphs, the spike responses generated on a current generation neuromorphic processor can improve the stability of graph partitions and non-overlapping communities can be identified even with the loss of higher-order spiking behavior if the graphs are sufficiently dense. For sparse graphs, the loss of higher-order spiking behavior improves the stability of certain graph partitions but does not retrieve the known community memberships. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png ACM Journal on Emerging Technologies in Computing Systems (JETC) Association for Computing Machinery

Abstract

We study the applicability of spiking neural networks and neuromorphic hardware for solving general opti- mization problems without the use of adaptive training or learning algorithms. We leverage the dynamics of Hopfield networks and spin-glass systems to construct a fully connected spiking neural system to generate synchronous spike responses indicative of the underlying community structure in an undirected, unweighted graph. Mapping this fully connected system to current generation neuromorphic hardware is done by embedding sparse tree graphs to generate only the leading-order spiking dynamics. We demonstrate that for a chosen set of benchmark graphs, the spike responses generated on a current generation neuromorphic processor can improve the stability of graph partitions and non-overlapping communities can be identified even with the loss of higher-order spiking behavior if the graphs are sufficiently dense. For sparse graphs, the loss of higher-order spiking behavior improves the stability of certain graph partitions but does not retrieve the known community memberships.
