BRN Discussion Ongoing

[zeeb0t]

Wow pretty good first attempt at a mini ChatGPT with a domain of just this website or is the Brainchipinc website? Anyway, it stumbled on my first question - I asked it ‘What is JAST?’ and it said (paraphrasing) that this website contains no information about JAST? A little disappointing but that’s why you want the feedback I’m guessing.

Upgrade complete... now when asking the question, you get:

"JAST is a new unsupervised learning algorithm developed by the Brain and Cognition Research Center (CERCO) in Toulouse, France. BrainChip Holdings Ltd has signed an agreement with French-based technology transfer company Toulouse Tech Transfer to license the exclusive rights to the JAST learning rules and algorithms. The groundbreaking JAST technology significantly enhances the Company’s existing neural network design and will be implemented on the Company’s proprietary Spiking Neural Adaptive Processor (SNAP)."

Let me know whatever other feedback you have! Thanks!

@Diogenese do you know how Rohm’s Von Neumann NN accelerator can product such supposed efficiencies with on-chip learning. I see this was discussed on TSE back in November when media was released. Did you find out anything further.

I wonder if their minimal 20,000 circuit gates would reduce speed of inference compared to Akida.

I'm sure you're right about the speed:

Introduction to ROHM’s On-Device Learning AI Chip BD15035

As you can see from the right hand graph, their Matisse CPU is slower than 2 of the 3 comparison CPUs. This is several times slower than Akida.

The ROHM SoC is a single purpose device for detecting vibrations, hence the FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) input function. Fourier transform breaks a signal down to its individual frequency components.

Couldn't find any patents by Professor Matsutani from Keio Uni, but here is a 2021 paper he jointly authored:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.12824v1.pdf

Although high-performance deep neural networks are in high demand in edge environments, computation resources are strictly limited in edge devices, and light-weight neural network techniques, such as Depthwise Separable Convolution (DSC), have been developed. ResNet is one of conventional deep neural network models that stack a lot of layers and parameters for a higher accuracy. To reduce the parameter size of ResNet, by utilizing a similarity to ODE (Ordinary Differential Equation), Neural ODE repeatedly uses most of weight parameters instead of having a lot of different parameters. Thus, Neural ODE becomes significantly small compared to that of ResNet so that it can be implemented in resource-limited edge devices. In this paper, a combination of Neural ODE and DSC, called dsODENet, is designed and implemented for FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). dsODENet is then applied to edge domain adaptation as a practical use case and evaluated with image classification datasets. It is implemented on Xilinx ZCU104 board and evaluated in terms of domain adaptation accuracy, training speed, FPGA resource utilization, and speedup rate compared to a software execution. The results demonstrate that dsODENet is comparable to or slightly better than our baseline Neural ODE implementation in terms of domain adaptation accuracy, while the total parameter size without pre- and post-processing layers is reduced by 54.2% to 79.8%. The FPGA implementation accelerates the prediction tasks by 27.9 times faster than a software implementation.

Basically, Neural ODE is a NN model that uses an abbreviated NN configuration (eg, 3 layers in ROHM vibration detector).

Good publicity when/if we win with any/all of these.
I wonder how legit these are though?
I certainly do not know where they rank from the Oscars to the Nobels?
My old boss was always entering us in these trophy /awards competitions run by our Industry bodies, year after year for the bragging rights and to have on our letterhead etc, but I was left with the feeling that it was all a bit rigged. Sort of a boys club mutual back slapping/washing type of thing.
Still, lots of people paid to participate and seemed to have a good old time and in this instance I do like our categories.

AKIDA EVERYWHERE
GLTA (Good Luck To Akida )

It has "Global" in the award name, so it surely must be legit.

Zeeb0t..........so the website does not have the info that BrainChip has BOUGHT the JAST (owns it), only the old licencing info?

Following up by asking, "Did Brainchip acquire IP rights to JAST?"

You get this response:

"Yes, BrainChip acquired full ownership of the IP rights related to JAST learning rule and algorithms from French technology transfer-based company Toulouse Tech Transfer (TTT), including issued patent EP3324344 and pending patents US2019/0286944 and EP3324343. The invention related to the acquired IP rights include pattern detection algorithms that provide BrainChip with significant competitive advantages. The company held an exclusive license for the IP prior to their acquisition."

Good afternoon,

Is it just me or do any of you sense a change in the breeze, it's picking up a touch from the South.

Looking forward to LDA Capital's cash entering our accounts, news of the completion of our obligation must be very close now.

Some great posts being shared, thanks everyone.

Tech.

Ah good that this info is also on the website! very important info .
Yes wording of the question can have quite different results, though none bad just different answers.
Did anyone confirm if Merc & NASA are mentioned at all?

This is the only Matisse that I understand.

There is an interesting thing, my watch showed price was .480 at 3PM today. ( I set my watch 35 minutes earlier than normal time. )
Apple predicted today’s finish?

 

[Fact Finder]

No, three times in fact.

My mother taught me not to 'brag'. I also learnt in the law that letting the Judge get to a conclusion first made it more likely he or she would give the conclusion greater weight. Wow three times a nominee.
