BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Diogenese]

ESA started this project in January 2023:

Continual online learning with spiking neural networks​

https://www.esa.int/gsp/ACT/projects/continual-online-learning/

...
In contrast, current AI systems are almost exclusively trained on a particular task using a large amount of data collected prior to training, so everything about the data (type, statistical distribution and so on) is known prior to the training phase. Therefore, the ability to continually adapt and learn is perhaps one of the most profound points of distinction between current AI systems and biological organisms.

An interesting thing about Akida 2 is that the Akida NPU NN does not use backpropagation (BP), (BP) is used by TeNNs.

It's easy to see why ESA are so enthused by Akida.

Updated version
Switch
The console that hears what you say
It learns as you play

It’s the only console that has a Brainchip inside
That learns how you like to play
It will hear what you say and play that way
Nintendo 2
It’s here for you

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Something down to Earth, Terrestrial, Terra Firma, solid ground, on the deck!

All this talk about Space applications, is making my eyes bleed..

AKIDA is perfect for Space, but we need "Real World" applications, if we're going to be rich, in the majority of our Lifetimes.

And I've got no problem, with eating humble pie, I will continue to eat it, but I want to do it off of a gold plate damn it!

C'mon let's go!




Multimillionaire, will do. I guess...

I was just playing around and thinking that if we were involved with the new switch
How would they advertise it !

Arm Stock Gains From Edge AI Shift

As the focus of artificial intelligence moves from data centers to network edge devices, like smartphones, Arm is poised to increase its sales from royalties and licensing, Simpson said.

"We expect the growing use of v9 cores, as well as a shift to more custom silicon work, to be a feature of mobile growth," Simpson said.

Your sense for expectations needs to be calibrated to the real world

All this talk of Nintendo made me check in on Sony.

Interesting patent Dec 23.

Obviously working towards SNN as well.

If only hey?

Sony Patent | Deployment of dynamic vision sensor hybrid element in method for tracking a controller and simultaneous body tracking, slam or safety shutter​

Patent: Deployment of dynamic vision sensor hybrid element in method for tracking a controller and simultaneous body tracking, slam or safety shutter

Patent PDF: 20230398434

Publication Number: 20230398434

Publication Date: 2023-12-14

Assignee: Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc

Excerpt:

In an alternative implementation finger tracking may be performed without the use of one or more light sources. A machine learning model may be trained with a machine learning algorithm to detect finger position from events generated from ambient light changes due to finger movement. The machine learning model may be a general machine learning model such as a CNN, RNN or DNN as discussed above. In some implementations specialized machine learning model such as for example and without limitation a spiking (or sparking) neural network (SNN) may be trained with a specialized machine learning algorithm. An SNN mimics biological NNs by having an activation threshold and a weight that is adjusted according to a relative spike time within an interval, also known as Spike-timing-dependent-plasticity (STDP). When the activation threshold is achieved the SNN is said to spike and transmit its weight to the next layer. An SNN may be trained via STDP and supervised or unsupervised learning techniques. and More information about SNNs can be found in Tavanaei, Amirhossein et al. “Deep Learning in Spiking Neural Networks” Neural Networks (2018) arXiv:1804.08150, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

Your sense for expectations needs to be calibrated to the real world

That is the call of the day

What do people expect for a non / pre commercial company.

Nothing is going to happen no money will come until they are in the game so to speak.
It won’t be until real runs on the board will be realised, then the money will flow.its a long term investment, you need to be prepared if you invest in something pre commercial pre revenue.
And then you need to do your own research.
And then hopefully something good will come.

 

[Food4 thought]

Like a lot of the companies on the iceberg
We can only hope something good will come.
