Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) are regarded as the next frontier in AI, as they can be implemented on neuromorphic hardware, paving the way for advancements in real-world applications in the field. SNN provide a biologically inspired solution that is event-driven, energy-efficient and sparse. While showing promising results, there are challenges that need to be addressed. For example, the design-build-evaluate process for integrating the architecture, learning, hyperparameter optimization and inference need to be tailored to a specific problem. This is particularly important in critical high-stakes industries such as finance services. In this paper, we present SpikeConv, a novel deep Convolutional Spiking Neural Network (CSNN), and investigate this process in the context of a highly imbalanced online bank account opening fraud problem. Our approach is compared with Deep Spiking Neural Networks (DSNNs) and Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) showing competitive results.
