In Germany this kind of task would land in the lap of T-Systems, SAP (who already do logistics / storage management and probably more for the Army) or one of these consultancies Delloite. You can't expect politicians to be compete

CNRS has far more researchers employed than Oxford and they do research exclusively. It would be weird if they didn’t rank higher.

Yes, that would be another example.

- Weights are adjusted at the end of the backward in time (adjoint) integration, according to the weight gradients accumulated at pre-spike times. - We only consider one kind of model system in this paper but this method would work for any

I agree that the choice of task is not ideal. It is something that I struggled quite a bit with, since coming up with a good task can be a lot of work. Unfortunately even some of the "neuromorphic" datasets that are in use can be

I actually think I largely agree with the points that you made in the comment thread above. The name of the game can't be to just map a deep neural network to a SNN, I find it far more interesting to identify more natural mechanisms by

I agree with these points, however the main advantage of the method presented in the paper is precisely that both the forward propagation and backward propagation can be seen as being performed by a network operating on temporally sparse ev

That number is what they reported in their publication, but it turns out they actually used both recurrent neurons (compared to feedforward as they state) and 512 instead of 100 neurons (see here https://zenkelab.org/publica

One of the authors here, happy to answer any questions you might have.

It's also extremely expensive to train for any of these sports, in figure skating in the US you pay hundreds of euros every month for coaching and access to an ice rink only to a have a tiny tiny chance to be selected as one of ~5 comp

Well Poland had the brilliant idea of attacking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish–Soviet_War , right after the end of WW1, so I am sure there was no love between them.

Sure because Russia has a long history of attacking Western Europe unprovoked. Napoleon, WW1, UK US intervention in the Revolution, Polish Invasion and WW2 clearly had Russia as an Aggressor.

There are 4.6 bitcoin transactions per second, how many dollar transaction do you think there are per second and what kind of volume of dollars are traded. Also there are different kinds of dollar in circulation, for example M2 is much high

There is some path dependency here, trains came earlier than cars and early industrialised nations build rail networks that were far more extensive than they are now. There were also freight trams in cities like Berlin, which delivered carg

There are a few famous instances where mathematicians ran seminars for close to a decade and developed extensive theories on that way. Von Neumann appears to have been one, Grothendieck is a famous other example. The lectures are basically

This is just factually untrue the GDP of the British empire was much larger than that of the US and in terms of scientific innovation Germany was widely considered to be at the forefront with France and UK as equals. The US was largely a sc

Regardless of the physics content, if the constructions he proposes turn out to be well defined they might be a basis for some nice mathematics.

Yes in Germany you need a master of education to be allowed to teach even elementary school. Teachers are paid pretty well overall and the equivalent of Highschool teachers have done 5 years of university study.

Yes, I can totally believe that, the software itself is actually distributed in a fairly convenient format, given that some of it is only compatible with some obscure RedHat version, so installation amounts to copying files from an iso imag

The US is heavily investing in that, there are recent DARPA programs (POSH, IDEA, SHIELD, SAHARA, ...) addressing this and continuous government investment in semiconductor technologies.

The professional tools are licensed at 100k-200k/year per seat each, there is no way around them if you want to actually tape out the chip. An experienced backend engineer needs 3-4 months to take a design from Verilog to a file that c

The constant shilling for Julia gets old after a while. When it comes to numerical mathematics the implementation language is just a way to express ideas that are more or less independent of whatever language you are using. Last time I chec

Signal is a US company and „do not roll your own crypto“ is an NSA meme. It translates to „only use crypto we probably know how to compromise“. That doesn’t mean the algorithm itself must be wrong, it could just be that the implementation h
