Abstract
A computer-implemented method for classification of an input element to an output class in a spiking neural network may be provided. The method comprises receiving an input data set comprising a plurality of elements, identifying a set of features and corresponding feature values for each element of the input data set, and associating each feature to a subset of spiking neurons of a set of input spiking neurons of the spiking neural network. Furthermore, the method comprises also generating, by the input spiking neurons, spikes at pseudo-random time instants depending on a value of the feature for a given input element, and classifying an element into a class depending on a distance measure value between output spiking patterns at output spiking neurons of the spiking neural network and a predefined target pattern related to the class.
