Guess you are right @DingoBorat and 300k shares is a better number than 200k only 75k to go between my personal and super totals and I better hurry up while the downrampers on here and HC are working overtime, plus I’ve gotten an extra 4000 plus shares buying them on market and not on that fab offer the company were giving us SH 😂

Depends how long the shorters carry on playing the game and also it depends on the if we get no news in the next 4-6 months as I’m completely out of money as I just spent my airfare to the uk on some more today 😂 plus I’m going for a takeover instead as top 50 sounds boring.

Fascinatingly Intuitive.
Evening Chippers,

Listening to the ABC radio ... new technology using Ai to take photos of the placenta once child is born ... looks for anything which may be amiss.

Company called PlacentaVision.

Also of note , University of Pennsylvania helping on the technical side.


* whilst getting lost in all of this ... also came appon this site.

* for the technically minded only, got a light nose bleed on quick perusal.

* this info may have been shared by others , those in the know will know if it's new or not.



Regards,
Esq.

Weird as most people have there photos taken with the baby.

Few-Shot Transfer Learning for Individualized Braking Intent Detection on Neuromorphic Hardware​

Nathan Lutes, Venkata Sriram Siddhardh Nadendla, K. Krishnamurthy

Objective: This work explores use of a few-shot transfer learning method to train and implement a convolutional spiking neural network (CSNN) on a BrainChip Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic system-on-chip for developing individual-level, instead of traditionally used group-level, models using electroencephalographic data. The efficacy of the method is studied on an advanced driver assist system related task of predicting braking intention. Main Results: Efficacy of the above methodology to develop individual specific braking intention predictive models by rapidly adapting the group-level model in as few as three training epochs while achieving at least 90% accuracy, true positive rate and true negative rate is presented. Further, results show an energy reduction of over 97% with only a 1.3x increase in latency when using the Akida AKD1000 processor for network inference compared to an Intel Xeon CPU. Similar results were obtained in a subsequent ablation study using a subset of five out of 19 channels.

Significance: Especially relevant to real-time applications, this work presents an energy-efficient, few-shot transfer learning method that is implemented on a neuromorphic processor capable of training a CSNN as new data becomes available, operating conditions change, or to customize group-level models to yield personalized models unique to each individual.

5. Conclusion
The results show that the methodology presented was effective to develop individual-level models deployed on a state-of-the-art neuromorphic processor with predictive abilities for ADAS relevant tasks, specifically braking intent detection.

This study explored a novel application of deep SNNs to the field of ADAS using a neuromorphic processor by creating and validating individual-level braking intent classification models with data from three experiments involving pseudo-realistic conditions. These conditions included cognitive atrophy through physical fatigue and real-time distraction
and providing braking imperatives via commonly encountered visual stimulus of traffic lights. The method presented demonstrates that individual-level models could be quickly created with a small amount of data, achieving greater than 90% scores across all three classification performance metrics in a few shots (three epochs) on average for both the ACS and FCAS. This demonstrated the efficacy of the method for different participants operating under non-ideal conditions and using realistic driving cues and further suggests that a reduced data acquisition scheme might be feasible in the field.
Furthermore, the applicability to energy-constrained systems was demonstrated through comparison of the inference energy consumed with a very powerful CPU in which the Akida processor offered energy savings of 97% or greater. The Akida processor was also shown to be competitive in inference latency compared to the CPU. Future work could
include implementation of the method presented on a larger number of participants, other neuromorphic hardware, different driving scenarios, and in real-world scenarios where individual-level models are created by refining previously developed group-level models in real time.

Hi Fullmoonfever,

was just about to post a link to that paper, too - it goes along with the webinar I posted about a month ago:

Was just about to go to bed, when I saw this video on YouTube, recorded on July 4th. Quickly scrolled through the slides and screenshotted some, but haven’t listened to the whole Webinar, which was jointly hosted by the Centers for Cybersecurity and AI Research and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of North Dakota College of Engineering and Mines…

Dr. Venkata Sriram Nadendla from Missouri S&T was presenting on
EEG based SNNs for Braking Intent Detection on Neuromorphic Hardware

The paper’s first author is Nathan Lutes, a PhD student at Missouri University of Science and Technology (graduating in December), who has also been working as a Guidance Navigation and Control Engineer for Boeing since 2021.

Analyzing Amazon SageMaker and BrainChip Akida Neuromorphic Processor, pioneering approaches in machine learning

Can someone find this and post please. Having trouble with phone. Put it down to user error.

It's fairly new from May.

TIA

Thanks to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s summer intern Henry Gleason, a B.Sc. Aerospace Engineering student at Purdue University, we now know that LLNL researchers are looking at Akida 2.0 / TENNs for future satellite imagery processing… 🛰 👍🏻

During his summer internship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Henry Gleason collaborated with the following two gentlemen on his proof-of-concept Self-Tasking Satellite Network Model: Shervin Kiannejad, an Embedded System Engineer at LLNL “working on some of the most cutting edge technological projects out there” (his main interest being RF), and George Dankiewicz, who has been an Engineering Manager with Lockheed Martin for more than 40 years…

Depends how long the shorters carry on playing the game and also it depends on the if we get no news in the next 4-6 months as I’m completely out of money as I just spent my airfare to the uk on some more today 😂 plus I’m going for a takeover instead as top 50 sounds boring.

So expecting crypto to go parabolic in the next 4-6 months and hoping to transfer profits over to BRN ???

(me too !! I'm out of funds as well!!)

Only holding XRP since last year and got in at 0.70au cashed a little out and holding long term hoping for a miracle along with BRN
