Before revision:  To reveal the underlying mechanism of our SL model, we visualized both layer-based activities and synaptic weights using the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) method after training and found that they were well clustered, thereby demonstrating excellent classification ability  .
After revision:  To reveal the underlying mechanism of our SL model, we visualized both layer-based activities and synaptic weights using the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) method after training and found that they were well clustered, thereby demonstrating excellent classification ability . Furthermore, to verify the robustness of our model, we trained it on another more realistic dataset (Fashion-MNIST), which also showed good performance .
