    The adaptive Gaussian receptive fields for spiking encoding of numeric variables
    Computer Research and Modeling, 2025, v. 17, no. 3, pp. 389-400

    Conversion of numeric data to the spiking form and information losses in this process are serious problems limiting usage of spiking neural networks in applied informational systems. While physical values are represented by numbers, internal representation of information inside spiking neural networks is based on spikes — elementary objects emitted and processed by neurons. This problem is especially hard in the reinforcement learning applications where an agent should learn to behave in the dynamic real world because beside the accuracy of the encoding method, its dynamic characteristics should be considered as well. The encoding algorithm based on the Gaussian receptive fields (GRF) is frequently used. In this method, one numeric variable fed to the network is represented by spike streams emitted by a certain set of network input nodes. The spike frequency in each stream is determined by proximity of the current variable value to the center of the receptive field corresponding to the given input node. In the standard GRF algorithm, the receptive field centers are placed equidistantly. However, it is inefficient in the case of very uneven distribution of the variable encoded. In the present paper, an improved version of this method is proposed which is based on adaptive selection of the Gaussian centers and spike stream frequencies. This improved GRF algorithm is compared with its standard version in terms of amount of information lost in the coding process and of accuracy of classification models built on spike-encoded data. The fraction of information retained in the process of the standard and adaptive GRF encoding is estimated using the direct and reverse encoding procedures applied to a large sample from the triangular probability distribution and counting coinciding bits in the original and restored samples. The comparison based on classification was performed on a task of evaluation of current state in reinforcement learning. For this purpose, the classification models were created by machine learning algorithms of very different nature — nearest neighbors algorithm, random forest and multi-layer perceptron. Superiority of our approach is demonstrated on all these tests.
