Abstract: As one of the important artificial intelligence fields, brain-like computing attempts to give machines a higher intelligence level by studying and simulating the cognitive principles of the human brain. A spiking neural network (SNN) is one of the research directions of brain-like computing, characterized by better biogenesis and stronger computing power than the traditional neural network. A liquid state machine (LSM) is a neural computing model with a recurrent network structure based on SNN. In this paper, a learning algorithm based on an evolutionary membrane algorithm is proposed to optimize the neural structure and hyperparameters of an LSM. First, the object of the proposed algorithm is designed according to the neural structure and hyperparameters of the LSM. Second, the reaction rules of the proposed algorithm are employed to discover the best neural structure and hyperparameters of the LSM. Third, the membrane structure is that the skin membrane contains several elementary membranes to speed up the search of the proposed algorithm. In the simulation experiment, effectiveness verification is carried out on the MNIST and KTH datasets. In terms of the MNIST datasets, the best test results of the proposed algorithm with 500, 1000 and 2000 spiking neurons are 86.8%, 90.6% and 90.8%, respectively. The best test results of the proposed algorithm on KTH with 500, 1000 and 2000 spiking neurons are 82.9%, 85.3% and 86.3%, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a more competitive advantage than other experimental algorithms.
