arXiv:2606.01442v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are increasingly studied for network intrusion detection, but comparative evidence on how neuron models and spike encodings affect performance remains limited. Evaluation choices can influence results when preprocessing, capture structure, or scenario information crosses the train--test boundary. We evaluate nine snnTorch neuron families with three spike encodings, yielding 27 SNN configurations across four intru
Editorial Analysis
Organisations evaluating neuromorphic computing for network defence should be aware that published SNN-IDS results may reflect preprocessing artefacts rather than genuine detection capability.
