BRN Discussion Ongoing

[BaconLover]

So this is my view from my place. I just moved my bids to .685 cause I'm an impatient prick. When BRN reaches $2 again I can knock down this currently holiday house and build a big double storey retirement home. Downstairs for when the daughter give us grand kids. As a wise man said, generational weath is what I am also in here for. Worst case, I gotta wait till I can access my super to build. Within 5 years and BRN will get me 5 years earlier retirement. Brunch was good. Hahaha, sorry to the Northen hemisphere people suffering the cold. View attachment 26661

Neuromorphic artificial intelligence systems

Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems, based on von Neumann architecture and classical neural networks, have a number of fundamental limitations in comparison with the mammalian brain. In this article we discuss these limitations and ways to mitigate ...

Brainchip AKIDA is referenced and has its own subsection in the paper. The third sentence in section 3.8 has me intrigued:

When I read this info contained in the article this jumped out. Do we know that Accenture are partners Mercedes. “with Neuromorphic technologies make efficient onboard AI possible. In a recent collaboration with an automotive client, we demonstrated that spiking neural networks running on a neuromorphic processor can recognize simple voice commands up to 0.2 seconds faster than a commonly used embedded GPU accelerator, while using up to a thousand times less power. This brings truly intelligent, low latency interactions into play, at the edge, even within the power-limited constraints of a parked vehicle.

Hi BrnPos2022,

Unfortunately they are referring to Intel's Kapoho Bay research chip:


Neuromorphic Computing: Energy-efficient Smart Cars with Advanced Voice Control | Accenture

https://www.accenture.com/content/d...nt-Smart-Cars-with-Advanced-Voice-Control.pdf


Using edge AI devices to compliment cloud[1]based AI could also increase responsiveness and improve reliability when connectivity is poor. So we've built a proof of concept system with one of our major automotive partners to demonstrate that neuromorphic computing can make cars smarter without draining the batteries. We're using Intel's Kapoho Bay to recognize voice commands that an owner would give to their vehicle. The Kapoho Bay is a portable and extremely efficient neuromorphic research device for AI at the edge.


As a first step, we trained the system to recognize simple commands, such as lights on and lights off, open door, close door, or start engine. Using a combination of open source voice recordings and a smaller sample of specific commands, we can approximate the kinds of voice processing needed for smart vehicles. We tested this approach by comparing our train spiking neural networks running on Intel's neuromorphic research cloud against a convolutional neural network, running on a GPU.


Both systems achieved acceptable accuracy recognizing our voice commands, but we found that the neuromorphic system was up to a thousand times more efficient than the standard AI system with a GPU. This is extremely impressive and it's consistent with the results from other labs, as Intel will show further in their session on benchmarking the Intel OAE. The neuromorphic system also responded up to 200 milliseconds faster than the GPU. This dramatic improvement in energy efficiency for our task comes from the fact that computation in Loihi is extremely sparse. While the GPU performs billions of computations per second, every second, the neuromorphic chip only processes changes in the audio signal and neuron cores inside low Loihi communicate efficiently with spikes.


Of course, now we're friends, they may be able to get even better results.

When was the AKD500 released and what devices is it in

Fom Metatf update

New features​

• [akida] Upgrade to quantizeml 0.0.13
• [akida] Attention layer

I don’t know how to react to this??? We have had assurances here that Rob Telson has been terminated that’s why he is not doing the podcast, so is it right and proper that he continues to masquerade as being employed by Brainchip and promoting contacts and relationships with Intel as if he is still in charge of Ecosystems and Partner relationships???

Or could these allegations just be more of the ‘it’s my opinion’ posts not designed to mislead or manipulate???

Don’t forget Mercedes Benz trialled Intel before moving to Brainchip just as Prophesee did.

I wonder how many NDA covered companies have followed the same trodden path and could it be now described as well worn.

ACE is from the old English name ACEY which means amongst other things number one.

“Acey, a boy's name of English origin, means "number one" or "the best."

Can no one be trusted - all these years I've sworn by Ella, and now:

Luckily, Accenture have the solution:

US2022382795A1 METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF MISINFORMATION
A system and method for automatically detecting misinformation is disclosed. The misinformation detection system is implemented using a cross-stitch based semi-supervised end-to-end neural attention model which is configured to leverage the large amount of unlabeled data that is available. In one embodiment, the model can at least partially generalize and identify emerging misinformation as it learns from an array of relevant external knowledge. Embodiments of the proposed system rely on heterogeneous information such as a social media post's text content, user details, and activity around the post, as well as external knowledge from the web, to identify whether the content includes misinformation. The results of the model are produced via an attention mechanism.

We know only those that have been disclosed with 7 to 8 outstanding under NDA and not revealed.

I am sure you know the names of all those we know already and which are the confirmed original NDA’s like Ford, Valeo, Renesas, MegaChips, Mercedes Benz, ISL, NASA. This makes seven names plus seven or eight still hidden NDA EAPs gives you fifteen.

There are of course all the other partners now in the ecosystem ARM, SiFive, Intel, Edge Impulse, Nviso, Prophesee etc

Jack Ma, the billionaire founder of Alibaba who disappeared from public view in 2020, appears to resurface in Thailand as he prepares to give up control of his company

The Bangkok restaurant Jay Fai posted a picture of the elusive billionaire on Instagram just hours before he ceded control of the company he founded.

Nothing sus going on here

Well I suppose in a socialist country fairness dictates that if the state is inefficient and ruins the economy that an efficient well run profitable private enterprise has to be brought under state control and reduced to the same level as the state.

That’s what socialism is, is it not. Every opinion equal, everyone at the same level. As you cannot make all people highly intelligent the only way to achieve the socialist state is to lower everyone to the lowest common denominator. After all its easy for smart people to play dumb but not so easy for the dumb to play smart.

I am just pleased he has escaped with his life.

I would suggest Brainchip give him a job but the CCP would probably shoot his relatives until he gave up AKIDA’s secret sauce.
