Do Spikes Fail Differently?
A spiking neural network and its ReLU twin, matched in architecture, parameter count, data, seed, and training, compared on DVS128Gesture for accuracy, calibration, robustness under four corruptions, temporal sensitivity, and paper energy. Spiking gives up 3.5 accuracy points and buys a calibration tie, up to +28 points under sensor noise with confidence that tracks its accuracy, and an 18.7x saving on the standard energy accounting. Single seed, n=288, bootstrap CIs on everything, and a live demo.
