'IBM Chip Processes Data Similar to the Way Your Brain Does'
Interesting, I did not know that we already know how the brain 'processes data'.
- throwaway7808 12y agoInteresting, I did not know that you did not know that.
- mlvljr 12y agoHeck, neither did I!
- Houshalter 12y agoThey are referring to the fact it uses a connectionist architecture rather than a von Neumann one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectionism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectionism
- lispm 12y agoThat says most nothing. The brain uses various forms of neural networks of whose data processing we know relatively little. The IBM chip is at best somehow 'inspired' by the brain. It's far from working like it.
- Houshalter 12y agoMore specifically it's also a spiking neural network. You could probably program it to efficiently run very similar algorithms to human neurons.
