MindTalks: Computation spike by spike - hardware and wetware (Prof. Dr. Klaus Pawelzik and Prof. Dr. Alberto Garcia-Ortiz)
Abstract Recent advances in machine learning with deep neural networks (DNNs) show impressive performances in solving difficult problems. However, current DNN approaches are still inefficient when compared with their biological counterparts. It appears that evolution has found solutions that are still superior to the current technical implementations. Spiking neural networks (SNN) could offer an alternative [...]
