This paper proposes a region-based encoding method that places multi-dimensional Gaussian receptive fields in the data-inhabited regions, and captures the correlation among the variables.
Abstract
In this paper, we address the issues in representation of continuous valued variables by firing times of neurons in the spiking neural network used for clustering multi-variate data. The existing range-based encoding method encodes each dimension separately. This method does not make use of the correlation among the different variables, and the knowledge of the distribution of data. We propose a region-based encoding method that places multi-dimensional Gaussian receptive fields in the data-inhabited regions, and captures the correlation among the variables. Effectiveness of the proposed encoding method in clustering the complex 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional data sets is demonstrated.

Unsupervised anomaly detection in multivariate time series with online evolving spiking neural networks

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented a method for detecting anomalies in streaming multivariate times series by using an adapted evolving Spiking Neural Network (SNN), which uses the precise times of the incoming spikes for adjusting the synaptic weights, an adapted, real-time-capable and efficient encoding technique for multivariate data based on multi-dimensional Gaussian receptive fields and a continuous outlier scoring function for an improved interpretability of the classifications.

Fast sigmoidal networks via spiking neurons

TL;DR: It is shown that networks of relatively realistic mathematical models for biological neurons in principle can simulate arbitrary feedforward sigmoidal neural nets in a way that has previously not been considered and are universal approximators in the sense that they can approximate with regard to temporal coding any given continuous function of several variables.

Spatial and temporal pattern analysis via spiking neurons.

TL;DR: This paper shows how these delays can be learned using exclusively locally available information and gives rise to a biologically plausible algorithm for finding clusters in a high-dimensional input space with networks of spiking neurons, even if the environment is changing dynamically.
