Reply to comment by aleph__one in [D] G. Hinton proposes FF – an alternative to Backprop by mrx-ai

I see, thanks. Why did you choose to use SNNs for your application instead of conventional ANNs? Are you using a neuromorphic chip?

No neuromorphic chip. Main reason is interpretability.

Oh, I haven't heard about using SNNs for interpretability. I thought they were on the same level as ANNs. Sorry for all the questions, but can you elaborate on how they're more interpretable?

The spiking events should be much more sparse and therefore probably easier to interpret.
