So I made a comment on this guys post where he talked about the power hungry cloud and looking for greener solutions.

I mentioned Brainchip briefly and how they are tackling these problems and he responded with “thanks for sharing, I haven’t come across Brainchip. Curious to learn more” I responded with a link to Akida second generation with the slides of what our partners are saying about the technology.

Looking into who this guy is he is the head of R&D for a massive city development in Saudi Arabia worth 500 billion dollars.

Here’s to hoping he clicks the link and likes what he sees 🫠

Brilliant

Is today a public holiday in Australia or did I miss something? Or just a bit late opening?

Brilliant

One of things iv allways thought concerning the marketing of BRN is good old fashioned Radio to the get the word out and about to the masses .
Something that the big end of town in places like silicone valley in the tech world don’t seem to use.
It’s a great medium for a wide variety of listener’s around the world.
This new type of neuromorphic computing everyone should know about imo.
The more the merrier

Hi TheFunkMachine,

I already shared my sentiment about doing business with Saudi Arabia’s present government in previous posts.

But that’s not the reason for my post today.
I just wanted to draw attention to the fact that Mansoor Hanif has actually been very much aware of the benefits of neuromorphic technology for quite some time and was either not honest with you or else appears to have some memory problems, given his reply to you was “I haven’t come across Brainchip. Curious to learn more.”

Meanwhile, Gen AI gets a kick along, but steps back from the edge:

Japan, U.S. team up on generative AI to modernize research​

TOKYO -- The Japanese and U.S. governments will form a cooperative framework that will make use of generative artificial intelligence to take scientific research to the next level.
...
Forming the core of the pact is the mutual use of foundational models powering generative AI.

Generative AI is beginning to be used in research settings for recording minutes and producing documents. By machine learning from experimental data, research papers and similar sources, AI may be able to come up with scientific hypotheses and experimental designs. That would help to significantly improve efficiency in research that will lead to new discoveries.

Riken, the research institute under the ministry, started developing generative AI to speed scientific research last fiscal year. In the U.S., the DOE's Argonne National Laboratory is engaged in the same activity.

For the U.S. foundational model, the goal is to incorporate over 1 trillion parameters. Riken plans to reach around 100 billion parameters initially for its model, then expand the scale further on.

Who picks up the tab for electricity?

At least their security is in good hands:

To make this usable at the edge, the model would need to be broken up into sub-modules covering different topics.

An example of a system which does this is the International Patent Classification system (IPC):

https://ipcpub.wipo.int/?notion=sch...&initial=A&cwid=none&tree=no&searchmode=smart

A HUMAN NECESSITIES
B PERFORMING OPERATIONS; TRANSPORTING
C CHEMISTRY; METALLURGY
D TEXTILES; PAPER
E FIXED CONSTRUCTIONS
F MECHANICAL ENGINEERING; LIGHTING; HEATING; WEAPONS; BLASTING
G PHYSICS
H ELECTRICITY

The IPC has several levels of sub-categories to facilitate targeted searching.

So sounds like they haven't incorporated AKIDA, into the cupcake server yet, as was previously thought?

 

[Food4 thought]

I also remember Sean said “watch the financials” and not “watch panicking anonymous investors in a forum to understand the market” or should I? Or did he say “what’s the financials?” ? You decide! 🫵🫵🫵

Did he say watch the financials go to shit down down
Or did he say watch them go up up ????
What’s happened so far regarding them ….
Time will tell

Hi all,

Another Rob T like dot join.

This company has tiny ml technology with a NN.

It wasn’t clear if it’s their NN or if they’re using someone else’s IP?

Can we spam this guy as he is talking about Analog computers and says it uses less power.

Hi SG,

My Voice does not use Akida in their patents, but that's not to say that Akida would not make a big improvement:

US2023186896A1 SPEAKER VERIFICATION METHOD USING NEURAL NETWORK 20211215

[0115] The cloud network device 430 stores a neural network model 434 , and the device 420 stores a neural network model 424 . The neural network model 434 and the neural network model 424 are the same, except that the neural network model 434 on the cloud device includes a second fully-connected layer after the first fully-connected layer and a softmax function applied to the output of the second fully-connected layer. The neural network 434 on the cloud device is trained using training data 432 . An exemplary method of training a neural network is by using backpropagation, and this is discussed further below. Once trained, the learned weights 438 are extracted from the trained neural network 436 . The weights corresponding to the second fully-connected layer, and the softmax function are discarded at this stage.

[0105] With reference to the steps 400 shown in FIG. 4 , below we discuss a system for training a neural network according to the invention. The system comprises a cloud network device and a device. As shown by step 410 , the network device is configured to train a neural network, such as the neural network shown in FIG. 2 . Methods of training a neural network are known. For example, the neural network may be trained by backpropagation. Other methods could be used, as long as the value of weights connecting the nodes of the neural network are learned, as shown by step 420 . Referring to FIG. 2 , the second connected layer 280 and the softmax function 290 may be used during training the neural network. However, the weights related to these layers are not useful for generating a vocal signature. They are therefore discarded once training is complete. At step 440 , the weights are then sent to the device that performs the methods of generating a vocal signature and performing speaker verification.

[0110] Once the device receives the learned weights, they are stored, as shown by step 450 , and then the device initializes the neural network on the device with the learned weights at step 450 . To be clear, the neural network trained on the cloud network device has the same architecture as the neural network implemented on the device, and initially the neural network implemented on the device is not trained. By using the learned weights to initialize the untrained neural network, the neural network on the device is trained. After being trained, the neural network of the device is able to perform the methods of generating a vocal signature and speaker verification discussed above.

[0111] Training a neural network requires considerable computational, time and power resources. Therefore, by training the neural network in the cloud network device, the training is performed without any practical restriction on the time, or computational and power resources available. The weights are therefore learned with a high degree of precision and accuracy, which could not feasibly be achieved if the training was performed on the device.

[0112] It is emphasized that only training the neural network on the cloud network device is not enough to implement on device speaker verification. Having a neural network model with a reduced profile, and that compresses the data as described, by performing two convolutions, and then max pooling after each convolution is also necessary. The neural network model is required to ensure that the method can be performed without using an excessive amount of memory, on the device. Specifically, the entirety of the neural network model and the instructions for performing inference are embodied within a footprint of between 0 and 512 kilobytes in size. On top of that, the resulting vocal signature can be stored in a relatively small amount of memory, for example 1 kilobyte, and can be generated quickly, without consuming a large amount of electrical power. This is a direct result of the specific neural network architecture used to generate the vocal signature.


US2022405363A1 METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF NEURAL NETWORKS USED FOR BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION 20210618

[0014] In the example of speaker authentication, using an overly large data set can lead to a neural network overfitting to the training data, especially if certain categories of speakers are overrepresented in a training data set. On the other hand, it is important to ensure that a range of samples are used to train a neural network in order that the neural network is able to distinguish between a wide variety of different speakers and to ensure that a trained neural network model is able to handle environmental noise in speech samples during authentication.

[0018] As explained above, existing methods of biometric enrolment are unable to create a biometric signature that is robust enough to allow user recognition in a variety of environments. In contrast, embodiments of the first aspect of the invention allow for a biometric signature of a user to be determined that is robust to unimportant variations, which could include changes in the user's appearance or voice due to tiredness or illness and changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in lighting or ambient sounds.

[0019] This is achieved by taking multiple biometric samples from a user and using these to generate a single biometric signature of that user, which means that the biometric signature captures consistent identifying features of the user. By focussing on those identifying features that are consistent across the biometric samples, the biometric signature is robust to unimportant variations and noise and the accuracy of the neural network during authentication is therefore improved.
