Source description

neurocuda/mlp-mnist-snn ✅

Simple MLP SNN for MNIST digit classification. The classic beginner example — great for learning the conversion pipeline. Converts in under 1 minute on CPU.

Model Details

  • Task: digit-classification
  • Dataset: MNIST
  • Architecture: 3-layer MLP (784→256→256→10)
  • Training: ANN → QCFS → IF (direct conversion, no FT)
  • Status: production

Performance

  • SNN Accuracy: 97.4% | Gap: +0.40% (within ANN)
  • Parameters: 269,322 (1052 KB)
  • Timesteps: T=16

Usage

import neurocuda as nc

# Load the pre-converted spiking model
snn, info = nc.hub.load("neurocuda/mlp-mnist-snn")

# The model is already spiking — binary IF/LIF spikes, stateful membrane
snn.eval()

# 4D input (single frame)
import torch
x = torch.randn(1, 2, 34, 34)  # Adjust channels/size for your model
output = snn(x)

# 5D input (temporal — event cameras, video)
x5 = torch.randn(2, 16, 2, 34, 34)  # (Batch, Timesteps, Channels, H, W)
output5 = snn(x5)

Hardware Compatibility

  • Validated on: GPU, CPU
  • NIR Export: Yes — deployable to Loihi 2, SpiNNaker, FPGA

Conversion Method

ANN → QCFS → IF (direct conversion, no FT)

Limitations

This is a converted spiking neural network. Accuracy was measured on the full test set with ≥3 seeds (where noted). Performance may vary on different hardware backends. See the NeuroCUDA README for detailed benchmarking methodology.
