Running a large-scale Spiking Neural Network (SNN) on a distributed computing platform is one of the basic means to improve the level of brain-like computing intelligence. The difficulty lies in how to deploy the SNN to the corresponding number of computing nodes in order to make the overall system run with the best energy efficiency. To solve this problem, on the basis of NEural Simulation Tool-based (NEST-based) Workload Automatic Mapper for SNN (SWAM) proposed by others before, a workload automatic mapper for SNN, named SWAM2, based on precise communication modeling was proposed. In SWAM2, based on the NEST simulator, the communication part of the SNN workload was further accurately modeled; the quantization method of the parameters in the workload model was improved; the maximum network scale prediction method was designed. Experimental results on typical cases of SNN show that, the average prediction errors of SWAM2 were reduced by about 12.62 and 5.15 percentage points respectively compared with those of SWAM in workload communication and computing time prediction. When predicting the optimal mapping of the workload, the average accuracy of SWAM2 reached 97.55%, which was 13.13 percentage points higher than that of SWAM. SWAM2 avoids the process of manual trial and error by automatically predicting the optimal deployment/mapping of SNN workload on computing platform.

At present, most deep learning models are difficult to deal with the classification of bird sound under complex background noise. Because bird sound has the continuity characteristic in time domain and high-low characteristic in frequency domain, a fusion model of homologous spectrogram features was proposed for bird sound classification under complex background noise. Firstly, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was used to extract Mel-spectrogram features of bird sound. Then, the time domain and frequency domain dimensions of the same Mel-spectrogram feature were compressed to 1 by specific convolution and down-sampling operations, so that frequency domain feature with only high-low characteristics and the time domain feature with only continuous characteristics were obtained. Based on the above operation to extract frequency domain and time domain features, the features of Mel-spectrogram were extracted both in time domain and frequency domain, the time-frequency domain features with continuity and high-low characteristics were obtained. Then the self-attention mechanism was applied to the obtained time domain, frequency domain and time-frequency domain features, strengthening their own characteristics. Finally, the results of these three homologous spectrogram features after decision fusion were used for bird sound classification. The proposed model was used for audio classification of 8 bird species on Xeno-canto website, achieved the better result in the comparison experiment with the Mean Average Precision (MAP) of 0.939. The experimental results show that the proposed model can deal with the problem of the poor classification effect of bird sound under complex background noise.
