INTRODUCTION
Embedding intelligence at the edge has become a critical requirement for many industry domains, especially disaster management, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, surveillance, remote sensing etc. Classical Machine learning or Deep learning (ML/DL) based systems, being heavy in terms of required computation and power consumption, are not suitable for Edge devices such as robot, drones, automated cars, satellites, routers, wearables etc. which are mostly battery driven and have very limited compute resource. Inspired from the extreme power efficiency of mammalian brains, an alternative computing paradigm of Spiking Neural Networks (SNN) also known as Neuromorphic Computing (NC), has evolved with a promise to bring in significant power efficiency compared to existing edge-AI solutions. NC follows non-von Neumann architecture where data and memory are collocated like brain neurons and SNNs handle only sparse event-based data (spikes) in asynchronous fashion. Inherently SNNs are very efficient to understand features in temporally varying signals and is found to efficiently classify/process auditory data, gestures/actions from video streams, spot keywords from audio streams, classify & predict time series from different sensors used in IoT, regenerate temporal patterns etc. The community is pursuing multiple sophisticated dedicated Neuromorphic hardware platforms such as: Intel Loihi, IBM TrueNorth, Brainchip Akida, SpiNNaker, DYNAPs to name a few.
Moreover, ultra-advanced and futuristic nanoelectronic devices and materials are being explored to build energy efficient neuromorphic computers. So this domain, as well as this tutorial, lines in the intersection of Computational Neuroscience, Machine Learning and In-memory Neuromorphic Computation techniques.
RATIONALE AND STRUCTURE OF THE TUTORIAL
The ICASSP community is at the forefront of research in the domain of signal processing. Thus it is extremely relevant to conduct a tutorial on advances in the domain of Neuromorphic Computing at the forum. We are proposing two valuable cross vertical elements in this tutorial:
(i) Firstly, the proposed tutorial has been developed keeping both academic and industrial/application interests in mind. The speakers represent leading academic and industry research teams on the subject with several years of theoretical and applied experience on the topic. Over last few years, while solving customer requirements related to edge computing, TCS Research has successfully taken neuromorphic research to real market applications. At the same time, group at IIT-Delhi has contributed significantly towards development of cutting-edge neuromorphic hardware and memory-inspired computing.
(ii) Secondly, the proposed tutorial will not only cover foundational basics (i.e. algorithms, bio-inspiration, mathematics) of the subject, but will also delve in to real hardware-level implementation and actual application use-cases (such as gesture recognition in robotics, time series classification and prediction in IoT, continuous health monitoring, remote sensing via satellite etc.) as pursued in industry so far.
The tutorial is structured to cover all relevant aspects of SNN and NC as detailed below.
- Biological Background, Software & Simulation of SNNs:
Speaker: Sounak Dey, duration: 50 minutes.
- Neuromorphic Hardware Basics:
Speaker: Manan Suri, duration: 50 minutes.
- Application & Implementation:
Speaker: Arun George, duration: 50 minutes.
A flexible and interactive model of discussion and Q-A with the audience will be followed throughout the tutorial. Duration:10-30 minutes.

It’s great to be back in China for Auto Shanghai!
We had lots to talk about at our Mercedes-Benz Media Night last night, including the China debut of our #EQE SUV, tailored specifically to the needs of Chinese customers.
I appreciated the chance to present to our guests the Concept #EQG. And learned that there’s even a saying in China that “everyone has a G-Class dream”. Well, no wonder! The G-Class is an off-road icon, and the electric version will follow in those impressive tracks when it enters series production.
I also enjoyed the opportunity to talk through our EV strategy and expand on the significant role played by China in our global R&D network. Our team there is taking the lead in a growing number of global projects, especially in the field of digital innovation. As well as our R&D centre in Beijing, we now have a new digital R&D centre in Shanghai, which specialises in connectivity and automated driving.
We’re doing lots of exciting work with our partners in China to make sure our products meet the specific needs of our customers there in respect of digitalisation, in-car entertainment content and, of course navigation.
The road ahead is an exciting one, and I’ll keep you posted on developments right here.

If I understand it correctly, you have to register at InvestorServe. (?)
Here you have to enter your "Unitholder Number", but I (we) don't have it - at least I can't find it at ING (Bank).
Do you guys know by any chance how to get or find this?
I am unsure but my guess is that it depends on the bank/broker.(?)
I think the question is, how do we find out which "nominee" holds our shares and we get them attributed to our name?
If anyone knows about this and is also with a German bank it would be great to know how to solve this.
Thanks in advance!

An interesting article from 2 weeks ago, how Cisco are using AI in WebEx to try to gain marketshare from Zoom.
It could very well be that they continued the dialogue with BrainChip ....
Video conferencing platform Webex by Cisco is introducing machine learning and generative AI functions meant to improve collaboration at a distance and CRM through enhanced video experiences and ChatGPT-like natural language interfaces.

Cisco is introducing a suite of generative artificial intelligence-driven features in its Webex video conferencing platform, from meeting summaries to visual enhancements. These features are aimed at both customer communications and hybrid working end users.
The company joins enterprises like Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe and Google in adding generative AI capabilities to its service. The new upgrades to Webex include AI-powered audio, video, natural language understanding and analytics enhancements.
Jump to:
After Webex, according to Datanyze, are GoToWebinar with 7% of the global market share, On24, Adobe Connect, Livestorm, GoToMeeting and Google Hangouts.
“Cisco has been investing in this for 10 or 15 [years], starting with basic things like noise cancellation and with some of our video conferencing technologies that have the ability to detect faces and zoom in and out,” Khan said. “So, we have been working on this for a while.
“What’s happened in the last couple of years is that the underlying technologies reached a point where the level of processing in real time and the amount of training data available has just grown exponentially. So these technologies, I think, have gotten 100 times better, which is allowing for things that weren’t possible before.”
Khan said that in the last three years Cisco spent about $1.5 billion acquiring several companies including Voicea and BabbleLabs for voice enhancing technologies as well as MindMeld, a natural language-processing company.
The company said the feature also allows IT administrators to create virtual spaces, or meeting zones, that automatically exclude distracting objects or people.
The cinematic feature includes the ability to capture the speaker at their best angle by automatically switching views.

Further, the AI recognizes human gestures and can add on-screen emojis corresponding to them, including gestures like hands raised for celebration, pressed together for thanks and request, and a heart for affection. It also adds animated features like confetti, fireflies and universe effects (Figure B).

And if a speaker leaves the camera view zone without departing the meeting, the AI can recognize this and display a “be right back” icon (Figure C).

Webex looks to grab market share from Zoom, others
According to customer relationship management data company Datanyze, Zoom is the market leader in video conferencing, with 72.61% market share and more than 176,757 companies using it. It reports that Cisco Webex is a distant second with 8.6% with more than 20,935 companies using Webex.After Webex, according to Datanyze, are GoToWebinar with 7% of the global market share, On24, Adobe Connect, Livestorm, GoToMeeting and Google Hangouts.
Cisco on multi-year path to incorporate machine learning
Javed Khan, senior vice president and general manager of collaboration at Cisco, said the company has been advancing its use of machine learning systems for at least three years.“Cisco has been investing in this for 10 or 15 [years], starting with basic things like noise cancellation and with some of our video conferencing technologies that have the ability to detect faces and zoom in and out,” Khan said. “So, we have been working on this for a while.

Khan said that in the last three years Cisco spent about $1.5 billion acquiring several companies including Voicea and BabbleLabs for voice enhancing technologies as well as MindMeld, a natural language-processing company.
AI enhancements in Webex
Cisco said the integration of AI has allowed the company to make several text and image enhancements that include image optimizing, 3D effects and natural-language queries.Cinematics for Webex devices
The upgrades to Webex add a cinematic quality to user video using its RoomOS conference video system, which optimizes video by automatically switching between cameras, for example, if a user is employing more than one.The company said the feature also allows IT administrators to create virtual spaces, or meeting zones, that automatically exclude distracting objects or people.
The cinematic feature includes the ability to capture the speaker at their best angle by automatically switching views.
Webex’s portrait effect
The AI baked into Webex also lets users choose to do complex visual optimizing effects, such as adding depth and sharpness to one’s appearance and making low-resolution video high definition (Figure A).Figure A
Further, the AI recognizes human gestures and can add on-screen emojis corresponding to them, including gestures like hands raised for celebration, pressed together for thanks and request, and a heart for affection. It also adds animated features like confetti, fireflies and universe effects (Figure B).

Message recommendations
The message recommendations feature uses AI to prioritize chat and space messages based on interactions with team members and other people users engage with most. Space recommendations suggest relevant Webex spaces to join based on similar people and engagements.Webex’s tools for customer-facing communications
Cisco said its use of large language models in Webex customer experience made it possible to deploy in its Webex Contact Center automated, AI-fueled features like:- Virtual Agents: A self-service chatbot.
- Agent Answers: A feature that provides real-time recommendations to an agent based on their inquiry.
- Contextual Chat Summary: A new feature, which will be available on the Webex Connect platform to automatically summarize any long-form text across digital channels. It can be used with Webex Contact Center or any other third-party contact center solution.
- A subject line generator for email subject lines for marketers and content creators.
- Evaluate Node for developers and IT professionals, designed to simplify building new flows and applications.
