Guidance and Control Networks with Periodic Activation Functions

Inspired by the versatility of sinusoidal representation networks (SIRENs), we present a modified Guidance & Control Networks (G&CNETs) variant using periodic activation functions in the hidden layers. We demonstrate that the resulting G&CNETs train faster and achieve a lower overall… Read More »Guidance and Control Networks with Periodic Activation Functions

Initialization Methods Lower Energy Needs of Spiking Neural Networks for Land Cover Classification

Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) have received a lot of attention as an energy-efficient alternative to Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). They are particularly useful for machine learning applications in space. Many learning algorithms have been developed to build energy-efficient SNNs and… Read More »Initialization Methods Lower Energy Needs of Spiking Neural Networks for Land Cover Classification
