arXiv:2610.23046v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On neuromorphic chips, spiking neural networks (SNNs) consume far less energy than artificial neural networks (ANNs), but the limited memory of these chips requires low-bit synaptic weights and membrane potentials. Existing post-training quantization (PTQ) methods provide them without retraining and, like those for ANNs, minimize numerical errors such as the mean squared error (MSE). In an SNN, however, a quantization error reaches later layers only through the spikes it flips. We find that errors of equal MSE can cause very different accuracy
