An Integrated Toolbox for Creating Neuromorphic Edge Applications
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and neuromorphic models are more efficient and have more biological realism than the activation functions typically used in deep neural networks, transformer models and generative AI. SNNs have local learning rules, are able to learn on small data sets, and can adapt through neuromodulation. Although research has shown their advantages, there are still few compelling practical applications, especially at the edge where sensors and actuators need to be processed in…
