1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Brain-inspired spiking neural networks (SNNs) are successfully applied to many pattern recognition domains. The SNNs-based deep structure has achieved considerable results in perceptual tasks, such as image classification and target detection. However, applying deep SNNs in reinforcement learning (RL) tasks is still a problem to be explored. Although there have been previous studies on the combination of SNNs and RL, most focus on robotic control problems with shallow networks or using the ANN-SNN conversion method to implement spiking deep Q networks (SDQN). In this study, we mathematically analyzed the problem of the disappearance of spiking signal features in SDQN and proposed a potential-based layer normalization (pbLN) method to train spiking deep Q networks directly. Experiment shows that compared with state-of-art ANN-SNN conversion method and other SDQN works, the proposed pbLN spiking deep Q networks (PL-SDQN) achieved better performance on Atari game tasks.
