My French isn't that good other than repeatedly hearing the word "oui" in some dodgy videos, however take a look at this:


However, one of the paragraphs translated in google says the following :(

" Synchronous or asynchronous operation
Directly accelerating the processing of event data could involve neuromorphic chips such as those developed by Brainchip (Akida), Intel (Loihi) and many others, some of which are beginning their commercial careers. The spiking neural networks (SNN) that they execute are therefore particularly suited to asynchronous calculations.

“That would be ideal,” recognizes Luca Verre. But, although we collaborate with Brainchip, Synsense and Intel, their chips are not yet mainstream. » Unlike the systems of Qualcomm, Renesas, AMD, etc., optimized to apply AI algorithms more common today (convolution in particular) to images from standard sensors."

Hmm, I wonder why it had yesterdays date?
A bit like present tense v past tense - depending on how the date is coded in the article, it can be a fixed date of when it was first published, or it can be a rolling date for when the article was accessed.

Seems to have all our familiar buzzwords......

So the $64k question.....Does it depend on BrainChip technology...si o no

Or is it infringing on same

I don't think they would infringe on our technology, as they are partners and big fans of AKIDA..

But knowing the above and our need for more exposure, yould think we would rank a mention in there somewhere?..

Very Low power envelope, is really the only thing we've got to go on?

Their tech is already neuromorphic..

They mentioned Sony, Bosch, Intel but not brainchip… why not brainchip if it would be the groundbreaking technology for them? I would not bet on this horse! Still waiting and holding without hyping every article and announcement about AI dyor
For the same reason ARM wasn't mentioned. We sell IP buddy. The other companies use our IP...

Hi DB,

Prophesee use the term "neuromorphic" to describe the spiking action of their pixels.

I recently read an article which referred to the function of DVS/event cameras as "retinomorphic". I think this is a better term to describe Prophesee's function as it distinguishes imitation of the action of the retina from the imitation of neurons involved in "neuromorphic" functions.

I posted about Zinn's patents yesterday:


Another one of Prophesee's early adopters is Xperi, who use a NN dating from 2015, based on principles from the last millennium.

WO2017129325A1 A CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK 20160129

1697510952268.png


As indicated above, especially during feature extraction, the convolution engine 32 can process windows of NxM pixels provided by the image cache 31 each clock cycle. In order to produce one output pixel in a given output map, the convolution engine 32 needs: one clock cycle for 2D convolution; or a number of clock cycles equal to the number of input maps for 3D convolutions. The same convolution architecture can be used for feature extracted and classification. For feature classification, each neuron/connection of the fully connected layers will have a different weight so the number of weights will typically be greater than for convolutional feature extraction where the same convolutional kernel is applied when calculating each pixel of a new map. Once the image data and weights are available within the image cache 31 and weights cache 37, the convolution engine 32 performs a number of scalar products to produce an output pixel value. It is appreciated that using a more parallelized cache 31 could accelerate the process by for example calculating pixels for output maps in parallel, but this would excessively increase the size of the convolution engine 32.

They even make a virtue of using more MACs ...

Note that in a 3D convolution, each input channel contributes to each output channel. This means that using this technique, the number of MAC (multiplier-accumulator) operations that can be performed increases quadratically with the number of channels. Thus, by reading pixels from more than one source map (channel) per clock cycle, the throughput of a 3D convolution operation can be increased without unduly complicating write/read operations to the image cache 31 ; 31 -A,31 -B.

I don't think we should lose much sleep over Xperi, other than to hope they see the light ...

Not trying to be an asshole, but just a bit of friendly (non financial) advice. Just because the share price drops doesn't mean it's a buy. We can wish for all the dot connecting and long winded posts from knowledgeable people all we like. Buy one true FACT is that we are here because a lack of revenue. How much $$ would you (and me) have saved if you'd just not bought at lows and waited? $1? 80c? 50c? . I'm happy to wait and wait until I see the company make big $$$ or a real proper DOTs like a signed contract from a big name. If I miss the first 20% waiting, I'm fine with that, but that first 20% will be a lot less than the 50% already lost in the last 2 months?

Food for thought.
