Neuromorphic Knowledge Representation: SNN-Based Relational Inference and Explainability in Knowledge Graphs
摘要
This paper explores a neuromorphic approach to semantic knowledge representation using spiking neural networks (SNNs) for relational inference within knowledge graphs (KGs). While traditional KG models often rely on dense embeddings that lack interpretability, SNNs offer a biologically inspired alternative by encoding relationships through discrete, event-driven spikes. We evaluate three architectures—LIF-Base, RecurrentSNN, and LiquidSNN—on a dataset of 54 computer science-related KG triplets. Performance is assessed using relationship classification accuracy, temporal and spatial stability, and spike variability. Results show that relationship types produce distinct spike activation patterns, with LiquidSNN achieving the highest accuracy and spatial coherence. These findings support the potential of SNNs for structured, interpretable KG reasoning, with future applications in adaptive learning systems and explainable AI.
