Haha, I worked with a relative of this camera during my bachelors :-) the DVS, e-DVD and DAVIS are some of the more useful results of neuromorphic engineering research, and really shine if you combine them with NNs or other noise-tolerant s

And for efficiencies sake we could centralise the collection of that cut. We could call it "taxes" (snark aside, this is why public education works. If you need to have a free market system, then have well regulated collection age

Ah, true, at the very end you print out a form, sign and then mail it or hand it over. Thanks for jogging my memory

An important addition to this is priors: deep networks allow to express the prior that hierarchical representation, i.e. composing into multiple layers of abstractions make sense (see e.g. conv nets).

See my other point, there might be, in fact there definitely is for any working NN, but as of now (2019, happy new year) we probably can't find it

If i remember my Goodfellow correctly (and quickly checking, wikipedia, I did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_approximation_theore... ), there is a nuance here which is almost always missed: you can represent

I am doing an internship in the lab where the cited paper was produced right now :-D If anyone has questions, I'll do my best to answer or relay(maybe tomorrow though as it is late here). There also was a related discussion about 2 mon

Thanks for sharing and this: >I looked at your CV, and my guess is that for you, the hardest part will be to focus on one thing for the next 4 years. Is an astute observation although I've found more than enough things in my lab to

I don't know enough about protein folding to say anything authorative about that. In general: it depends. If it has a memory bottleneck and the computation can be expressed as Matmul/matadd, then I can see memristives as accele

You are doing about as well as I did...I'm full EE, but worked as Software and AI/ML freelancer. Do some reserach about labs (there aren't that many) and then develop towards that

I did electrical engineering and listened to a lecture by our neuroscientific systems prof https://www.nst.ei.tum.de/team/jorg-conradt/ and it kind of developed from there, since I was interested in AI and ML as w

Heh cool, what did you work on? What did you find the hardest? What do you regret not having time for/would you like to add to what you did?

Downsides: * routing is a BITCH * cooling is a BITCH * noise is a slightly nicer BITCH * we are very early in building real stuff with this But yeah, it's cool, I hope it works out (otherwise I chose a deadend/false start for my P

Define soon...in research it is already working I think, but AFAIK in commercial products it's at most used for memory and CMOS image sensors (which are amenable to that and where density pressure is the highest). Getting production

I am actually working on this partially...I wouldn't call it new paradigms, but dataflow, probabilistic computing and parallel by default paradigms like VHDL or CUDA would be my best guess if the wildest dreams come true and we actua

I've just started a PhD on neuromorphic memristive Systems at EPFL, so if someone wants to ask questions/chat about this I will do my best to serve. Here or via the contact info in my profile:)

Hi, can you roughly say how you guys plan to make money and how one can help you out? You guys tick a lot of boxes for me (rust, open source and privacy focused ML, europe...) so I want to help:)
