Doesn't seem like they had heard of SNNs back in December 2018:
- [0136] In machine learning, a number of machine learning algorithms for classifying data have been developed. Decision tree, Bayesian network, support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network (ANN) are representative examples of the machine learning algorithms.
[0141] The ANN is a model used for machine learning and is a statistical learning algorithm inspired from a neural network (for example, brains in a central nervous system of animals) of biology in machine learning and cognitive science.
[0145] The ANN may include network models such as a deep neural network (DNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a bidirectional recurrent deep neural network (BRDNN), a multilayer perceptron (MLP), and a convolutional neural network (CNN), but is not limited thereto.

That's right.
"all representative of machine learning algorithms";
"a model for machine learning";
"network models such as a deep neural network (DNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a bidirectional recurrent deep neural network (BRDNN), a multilayer perceptron (MLP), and a convolutional neural network (CNN)"
in 2018 would all have been software solutions.
They are talking about software (CPU programs).

FYI - MegaChips invests in Australian semiconductor company.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2022
Sydney-based fabless semiconductor company Morse Micro is ushering in a new era for its Wi-Fi HaLow technology and plans to use the $140 million in Series B funding to revolutionise Australia’s digital future.
Leading Japan-based ASIC and SoC services company, MegaChips Corporation, led the funding round, with participation from existing investors including Blackbird Ventures, Main Sequence Ventures, Clean Energy Finance Corporation, Skip Capital, Uniseed, SpringCapital, and Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull among others.
The capital raised will be used to achieve scale and demand for Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow technology, focusing on the design of new solutions, while accelerating the go-to-market strategy for its existing Wi-Fi HaLow chips and modules.
Morse Micro claims its Wi-Fi HaLow “is the first Wi-Fi standard tailored to meet the needs of the IoT, making it a superior alternative to traditional Wi-Fi alternatives and many other wireless technologies”.
Launched in 2016, Morse Micro was founded by Wi-Fi pioneers and innovators, Michael De Nil and Andrew Terry, joined by the original Wi-Fi inventor Professor Neil Weste and wireless industry veterans, whose teams designed Wi-Fi chips for billions of smartphones.
Morse Micro co-founder and CEO Michael De Nil says the company is now at “an exciting inflection point”.
“With MegaChips’ financial backing and robust manufacturing and sales support, Morse Micro will be poised to achieve our goal of revolutionising IoT connectivity with our growing portfolio of Wi-Fi HaLow SoCs, modules, software and development tools,” he said.
“MegaChips shares our vision to revolutionise connectivity and build enduring Wi-Fi HaLow solutions for the future. We are delighted to partner with them, and for the support we’ve had from all of our investors, as we take the next step forward in our company’s journey toward market scale and leadership.”
MegaChips group president and CEO Tetsuo Hikawa says Morse Micro’s leadership team has already made a “tremendous impact” on the Wi-Fi industry.
“MegaChips pursues strategic partnerships and investments with promising startups like Morse Micro that have innovative ideas, cutting-edge applications and are expanding their businesses in areas such as industrial IoT, wireless communications and energy control,” he said.
The multimillion-dollar investment also brings with it a strategic business partnership between Morse Micro and MegaChips, which will see the two companies engage in joint sales and promotion activities to grow the market for Wi-Fi HaLow solutions.
In addition to manufacturing Morse Micro’s IEEE 802.11ah compliant semiconductors and modules, MegaChips will provide sales support and new distribution channels that will deliver scale across the region.

Hi equanimous,
There's quite a lot to be excited about:
ARM, SiFive, Valeo, nViso, Prophesee, Edge Impulse, MegaChips, Mercedes ...
Valeo LiDaR is one of the most exciting in that, combined with the EV surge in the real world and EU regulations for green tech and driver monitoring, and with AI being flavour of the month, it feels like we are surfing two waves at the same time. Valeo are the leading (sole) supplier of LiDaR ... and LiDaR is a sweet spot for Akida.
We signed a JD agreement with Valeo 2 years ago, so, with any luck, there'll be some road trials early next year if not some time this year with Scala 3.
nViso gives us another iron in the EV fire.
Edge Impulse can facilitate the matching of any task to Akida.
MegaChips gives us access to everything else.
Prophesee is another product (DVS) which is uniquely adapted for Akida because it generates spikes straight from the oven.
SiFive is ambitious to take a large chunk of ARM's business, and we have 5 bob each way.
I've left Renesas out as they are only licensed for 2 nodes, apparently preferring their own DRP for the heavy lifting.
Leaving aside mobile phones, laptops, cloud servers, I'm sure there will be many applications which have not yet surfaced but my crystal ball does not have the capacity to list them all. There are all sorts of possibilities - large computer makers for one. I hope to see the day when all processors (CPU, GPU, MCU) will incorporate Akida SNN IP.
Future versions of Akida will have LSTM (useful for predicting the motion of objects), and PvdM is working on cortical neuron bundles, but that's above my pay grade.
The nervous system is full duplex - there is an inward path carrying information from our senses to the brain, and there is a separate path carrying instructions from our brain to our muscles. At present, Akida only deals with the inbound signals. I guess the outward bound signals are also spikes, but at present, we rely on a CPU to send instructions. However, the instructions are probably small beer compared with the sensor data.

I meant to add that Scala 3 may need the LSTM version of Akida. I'm pretty sure we would have the software simulation of this, but I don't know if we've made a FPGA, or if Valeo have included the IP in a SoC.

Hi equanimous,
As I have said in the past, I don't have an It, engineering or science back ground to answer the technical aspects of Akida.
However, as a shareholder, I have tried to learn what Brainchip and Akida is about and why I should invest in it.
I can only go off from the the information Brainchip had released, and learnt from what other info shareholders had generously shared.
I am excited because of Akida ability to 'one shot learning', as learning would be a cognitive ability where we human improve with practice overtime. Now Akida can mimics that ability, then the use case would be diverse.
I take an example of Mercedes "a car that thinks like you" I would like to think that when Akida is operational in the Mercedes, When the owner first time driving it, it will learn of the face, height to adjust the seat, music & volume preference, all the comforts setting thats we has to adjust if the car is co-share. Although they are simply things, but from a cognitive aspect it has to be learnt over time.
With the idea of inference, some technical minded would think differently. However, my take on it is. With Akida ability to learn overtime, eventually it's has learnt enough data to make small judgement( drawing inference) to conclude or make decisions within the chip/or operation.
Learning.
It's great to be a shareholder.

I am trying to decide if Morse Micro is a friend or a foe. It's big sell - if I understand it - is it creates an expanded Wi-Fi network for applications that otherwise couldn't link up with each other, like a perimeter security system. They are using similar phrases and buzzwords to us like ultra low power and security.
Comments and opinions welcome.

It is hard to imagine tomorrow's high-tech applications without them: small, miniaturized chips that take over the intelligent control of our modern appliances. These nimble marvels must not only perform their programmed tasks but also save power and space. Engineering centers worldwide are trying to develop chips that learn from exogenous influences, i.e. that detect their environment through speech recognition or corresponding sensor technology, evaluate states and develop reaction categories. For example, if an object the size of a ball rolls from the right edge of the road across the center of the lane, such systems are supposed to trigger braking with the help of optics and sensor technology. Bravo if it works - where are the opportunities in the current stock downturn?

INFINEON - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS HERE TO STAY
Dr Oliver Pink knows what he is talking about. He is Senior Expert for Vehicle Architecture & Automated Driving at Bosch: "Artificial intelligence is the key to automated driving. Equipping cars with it is a bit like teaching students." Whether high-tech, cars, home appliances, smartphones, or renewables - the list of products seems endless. What they all have in common is the need for intelligent chips. Vehicles with an AI-driven computer will collect anonymized, new data about surrounding traffic, road conditions or traffic congestion, including timeline, into a huge database every time they drive. These data will be used to create situation models, which can be "retrieved" at the next decision point via neural networks. The decision is made in nanoseconds and is based on patterns and probabilities.Infineon has been researching these topics for almost 20 years. Artificial intelligence already knows a wide range of applications today - from cashless payment and security procedures of various kinds to industrial manufacturing. A very well-known example of the use of AI is facial recognition. What seems trivial for humans initially involves considerable effort for a machine. The reason: facial recognition does not compare the current image of the camera with the points of a photograph but develops a computational model from many images. Only this model recognizes the user - even under difficult conditions, such as different lighting conditions or when wearing glasses. At EUR 24.5, the German DAX technology stock Infineon is currently valued at a P/E ratio of only 12.5. The highest prices were EUR 20 higher, and operationally everything is fine. Pick up in the long term!
BRAINCHIP HOLDINGS - STANDING UP TO THE HUMAN BRAIN
The Australian company BrainChip Holdings is not a classic chip manufacturer but an IP company with solutions for the high-tech industry. The Company's positioning and networking is outstanding and even includes cooperation with Mercedes-Benz on the EQXX model. The ultra-modern EQXX vehicle is poised to become one of the most promising and enduring e-mobiles in the luxury class. Of course, such a vehicle contains a whole array of cutting-edge technology and sensors.This summer, BrainChip partnered with Prophesee to optimize the AI performance and efficiency of visual computing solutions. Prophesee's technology is inspired by human vision. It uses a patented sensor design and AI algorithms that mimic the human eye and brain to detect what was previously invisible with standard image-based technology. Perfect applications include autonomous driving, industrial automation, IoT, and augmented and virtual reality. BrainChip technology, "Akida", is the first neuromorphic processor on the market. It similarly mimics the human brain to analyze only the essential sensor inputs at the time of acquisition and process the data with unparalleled efficiency, precision and energy savings. The technology is moving into broader commercialization in 2022/23, which should soon be reflected positively in the numbers.
After January's high of EUR 1.67, the sell-off on the NASDAQ sent the stock down by almost 63% to currently EUR 0.63. Operationally, revenues in the first half of the year grew by 529% to USD 4.83 million, almost exclusively from license revenues. General administrative, sales and development costs remain high, rising by 37% to USD 12.9 million. After all, the cash register is still filled with USD 28.4 million at the half-year point. With a positive spin on the NASDAQ, the BrainChip share should be back in full force.
PORSCHE - VOTE AT VW IN FAVOR OF AN IPO
The decision has been made at VW and Porsche: It is a historic moment, Oliver Blume is quoted as saying in the sports car maker's press release sent out shortly before midnight. The Porsche boss, who has also been Volkswagen boss for just under a week, is siding with the Stuttgart-based sports car maker on the IPO issue, which he has led for seven years. Now he is through! "We are seeing very strong interest from investors and are pursuing the plans at full speed," said Arno Antlitz, who was promoted to Chief Operating Officer when Blume took office. The Volkswagen share price has been jubilant for a good three weeks. It gained another good 3.5% to just under EUR 149. For comparison: At the DAX low at the beginning of July, VW was only at EUR 120.Volkswagen has also already attracted a major investor in the form of the Qatar Investment Authority. The sovereign wealth fund, which already has a significant stake in the VW Group, is to acquire 4.99% of the shares. That means that about 20% of the preferred shares are still open because Volkswagen wants to float a quarter of the non-voting preferred shares on the stock market. They account for half of the share capital in Porsche, and the other half consists of ordinary shares, which entitle the holder to vote at the Annual General Meeting. VW intends to hold just under 75% of them in the future. 25% and one share are to be sold to Porsche Automobil SE. The holding company of the Porsche and Piëch families, which is also a major shareholder of Volkswagen, would thus have a blocking minority in the future and direct influence on the family brand again. Porsche is expected to be worth between EUR 60 billion and EUR 85 billion at the initial listing, one of the largest IPOs in 20 years for Europe and about 80% of VW's current capitalization.
While VW shares are shining because of the group's pending value upgrade, Porsche Automobil Holding SE is struggling to get off the ground at EUR 69. However, both shares can log in dividend yields of 6% and 5%, respectively. From a chart perspective, the parent company VW is doing better, with the billions from the IPO ending up in its coffers.
The stock markets continue to ride a roller coaster. Technology stocks now have different discount factors due to the substantial rise in interest rates. That reduces the current cash value. Those jumping on the bandwagon now should have a long-term focus. BrainChip Holding is a classic stock for medium-term multiples once its technology gains traction.

As a back up for @Diogenese if he is ever taken off line or goes down.
Otherwise I think I would like to see AKIDA eventually solve the human machine interface issue to give those with all levels of mobility issues the capacity to act independently.
Allowing an amputee of any age in any country to walk through to a very elderly end of life patient to raise and lower their bed with the power of thought to make their last moments more comfortable.
These uses will be for the next generations of AKIDA when as @Diogenese might say spikes will be a two way street.
