Scale-covariant spiking wavelets
🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the challenge of efficient signal representation in spiking neural networks by proposing a wavelet transform method grounded in scale-space theory. Leveraging the scale-covariant properties of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons, the authors construct discrete mother wavelets to approximate continuous wavelets, thereby establishing— for the first time—theoretical connections between wavelet transforms and spiking neural networks. The proposed approach enables multiscale signal representation directly in the spiking domain, with reconstruction experiments confirming its feasibility. This work opens a new avenue for low-power neuromorphic signal processing, while also highlighting that current approximation errors remain amenable to further optimization.

📝 Abstract
We establish a theoretical connection between wavelet transforms and spiking neural networks through scale-space theory. We rely on the scale-covariant guarantees in the leaky integrate-and-fire neurons to implement discrete mother wavelets that approximate continuous wavelets. A reconstruction experiment demonstrates the feasibility of the approach and warrants further analysis to mitigate current approximation errors. Our work suggests a novel spiking signal representation that could enable more energy-efficient signal processing algorithms.
