Convert2SNN

Tool for converting conventional neural networks to spiking neural networks.

Currently under construction. Please check again later until everything is implemented.

About

This tool can be used to convert and optimize conventional neural networks that were trained in TensorFlow to spiking neural networks (SNN).

Installation

Run the following to install:

pip install convert2snn

Usage

from convert2snn import convert

Developing

To install Convert2SNN alongside the tools you need to develop and run tests, run the following:

pip install -e.[dev]
