This is the official repository for paper Tensor Decomposition Based Attention Module for Spiking Neural Networks

paper:[pdf]

A Docker environment is strongly recommended, but you can also use pip to prepare the environment. If you are not familiar with Docker, you can refer to the following link to know about docker:

English Tutorial

中文教程

A docker file is provided in env directory. You can build the docker image and run the container with the following commands:

docker build -t pfa ./env

We provide pre-build docker image on docker hub. You can pull the image with the following command:

docker pull risingentropy409/pfa

The environment is ready to use after you have the image.

Use the following command to setup environment with pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: If your cuda version is above 12.0, you may modify cupy-cuda11x in requirements.txt to cupy-cuda12x

Modify CIFAR/main.py according to your needs and run:

python main.py

This code is modified from the example code of the spikingjelly framework. We appreciate the authors' great contribution.

Just run:

python run.py

For more configuration, please refer to the code. The code is simple and clear.

We conduct generation tasks based on FSVAE. The modified code is in the Generation folder. To run it, please refer to Generation/README.md

If you think our work is useful, please give us a warm citation!
