Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure support a technique for strategic synaptic failure and learning in spiking neural networks. A synaptic weight for a synaptic connection between a pre-synaptic neuron and a post-synaptic neuron can be first determined (e.g., according to a learning rule). Then, one or more failures of the synaptic connection can be determined based on a set of characteristics of the synaptic connection. The one or more failures can be omitted from computation of a neuronal behavior of the post-synaptic neuron.
