Neural Nets SELF-LEARNING FUZZY SPIKING NEURAL NETWORK AS A NONLINEAR PULSE-POSITION THRESHOLD DETECTION DYNAMIC SYSTEM BASED ON SECOND-ORDER CRITICALLY DAMPED RESPONSE UNITS

Abstract: Architecture and learning algorithm of self-learning spiking neural network in fuzzy clustering task are outlined. Fuzzy receptive neurons for pulse-position transformation of input data are considered. It is proposed to treat a spiking neural network in terms of classical automatic control theory apparatus based on the Laplace transform. It is shown that synapse functioning can be easily modeled by a second order damped response unit. Spiking neuron soma is presented as a threshold detection unit. Thus, the proposed fuzzy spiking neural network is an analog-digital nonlinear pulse-position dynamic system. It is demonstrated how fuzzy probabilistic and possibilistic clustering approaches can be implemented on the base of the presented spiking neural network.
