Spike-time Dependent Feature Clustering

Abstract

In this paper, we present an algorithm capable of spatially encoding the relationships between elements of a feature vector. Spike-time dependent feature clustering positions a set of points within a spherical, non- Euclidean space using the timing of spiking neurons. The algorithm uses an Hebbian process to move feature points. Each point is representative of an individual element of the feature vector. Relative angular distances encode relationships within the feature vector of a particular data set. We demonstrate that trained points can inform a feature reduction process. It is capable of clustering features whose relationships extend through time (e.g., spike trains). In this paper, we describe the algorithm and demonstrate it on several real and artificial data sets. This work is the first stage of a larger effort to construct and train artificial dendritic neurons.
