# 延迟自适应脉冲神经网络分类器

**来源论文：** arXiv:2305.11322 - Knowing When to Stop: Delay-Adaptive Spiking Neural Network Classifiers with Reliability Guarantees

## 核心方法论

### 1. 问题背景

传统 SNN 分类器：
- 处理完整个输入序列后才产生决策
- 延迟和能耗对所有输入基本相同
- 无法根据输入难度自适应调整

**目标：** 在保持可靠性保证的前提下，实现输入依赖的早停

### 2. SpikeCP 方法

**核心思想：** 使用共形预测 (Conformal Prediction) 提供可靠性保证

```
传统 SNN:  输入 → [完整序列处理] → 决策
SpikeCP:  输入 → [自适应早停] → 带置信度的决策
```

**关键特性：**
- 可靠性保证（置信度阈值可设）
- 输入依赖的停止时间
- 最小复杂度增加（只需阈值和计数操作）

### 3. 共形预测基础

**定义：** 提供预测集而非单点预测，保证真实标签在预测集中的概率

\[
P(Y_{n+1} \in C(X_{n+1})) \geq 1 - \alpha
\]

其中：
- \( \alpha \) 是错误率（如 0.1）
- \( C(X) \) 是预测集
- \( 1 - \alpha \) 是覆盖率保证
