XOResNet: Exclusive-OR Meta-Residuals Facilitate Deep Spiking Neural Networks Learning

arXiv:2605.30362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) hold promise for demonstrating superior learning and representation capabilities in deep models. Given the tremendous success of ResNet in deep learning, it would naturally follow to train deep SNNs with residual learning. However, existing residual structures for constructing deep SNNs still present challenges of spike redundancy or information loss, as well as redundant learning. In the present study, we first aim to address issues of relative spike redundancy in identity mapping and information loss in non-iden
