  The spiking neural networks (SNNs) are considered as one of the most
promising artificial neural networks due to their energy efficient computing
capability. Recently, conversion of a trained deep neural network to an SNN has
improved the accuracy of deep SNNs. However, most of the previous studies have
not achieved satisfactory results in terms of inference speed and energy
efficiency. In this paper, we propose a fast and energy-efficient information
transmission method with burst spikes and hybrid neural coding scheme in deep
SNNs. Our experimental results showed the proposed methods can improve
inference energy efficiency and shorten the latency.
