We present results related to the performance of an algorithm for community
detection which incorporates event-driven computation. We define a mapping
which takes a graph G to a system of spiking neurons. Using a fully connected
spiking neuron system, with both inhibitory and excitatory synaptic
connections, the firing patterns of neurons within the same community can be
distinguished from firing patterns of neurons in different communities. On a
random graph with 128 vertices and known community structure we show that by
using binary decoding and a Hamming-distance based metric, individual
communities can be identified from spike train similarities. Using bipolar
decoding and finite rate thresholding, we verify that inhibitory connections
prevent the spread of spiking patterns.Comment: Conference paper presented at ORNL Neuromorphic Workshop 2017, 7
