Spiking recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a promising tool for solving a wide variety of complex cognitive and motor tasks, due to their rich temporal dynamics and sparse processing. However training spiking RNNs on dedicated neuromorphic hardware is still an open challenge. This is due mainly to the lack of local, hardware-friendly learning mechanisms that can solve the temporal credit assignment problem and ensure stable network dynamics, even when the weight resolution is limited. These challenges are further accentuated, if one resorts to using memristive devices for in-memory computing to resolve the von-Neumann bottleneck problem, at the expense of a substantial increase in variability in both the computation and the working memory of the spiking RNNs. To address these challenges and enable online learning in memristive neuromorphic RNNs, we present a simulation framework of differential-architecture crossbar arrays based on an accurate and comprehensive Phase-Change Memory (PCM) device model. We train a spiking RNN whose weights are emulated in the presented simulation framework, using a recently proposed e-prop learning rule. Although e-prop locally approximates the ideal synaptic updates, it is difficult to implement the updates on the memristive substrate due to substantial PCM non-idealities. We compare several widely adapted weight update schemes that primarily aim to cope with these device non-idealities and demonstrate that accumulating gradients can enable online and efficient training of spiking RNN on memristive substrates.
