# Catalyst SHD SNN Benchmark
Spiking Neural Network trained on the Spiking Heidelberg Digits (SHD) dataset using surrogate gradient BPTT. Achieves 91.0% on SHD with adaptive LIF neurons (90.8% quantised int16).
## Model Description
- **Architecture (N3)**: 700 → 1536 (recurrent adLIF) → 20
- **Architecture (N2)**: 700 → 512 (recurrent adLIF) → 20
- **Architecture (N1)**: 700 → 1024 (recurrent LIF) → 20
- **Neuron model**: Adaptive Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (adLIF) with learnable per-neuron thresholds
- **Training**: Surrogate gradient BPTT, fast-sigmoid surrogate (scale=25), cosine LR scheduling
- **Hardware target**: Catalyst N1/N2/N3 neuromorphic processors
## Results
| Generation | Architecture | Float Accuracy | Params | vs SOTA |
|------------|-------------|----------------|--------|---------|
| **N3** | 700→1536→20 (rec, adLIF) | **91.0%** | 3.47M | Matches Loihi 2 (90.9%) |
| N2 | 700→512→20 (rec, adLIF) | 84.5% | 759K | — |
| N1 | 700→1024→20 (rec, LIF) | 90.6% | 1.79M | Basic LIF baseline |
## Reproduce
```bash
git clone https://github.com/catalyst-neuromorphic/catalyst-benchmarks.git
cd catalyst-benchmarks
pip install -e .
# N3 (91.0%)
python shd/train.py --neuron adlif --hidden 1536 --epochs 200 --device cuda:0 --amp
# N2 (84.5%)
python shd/train.py --neuron adlif --hidden 512 --epochs 200 --device cuda:0
# N1 (90.6%)
python shd/train.py --neuron lif --hidden 1024 --epochs 200 --device cuda:0
```
