NEURAL

The current generation of AI technologies uses deep-learning networks in order to ‘interpret’ data sources (eg the content of a digital image) - this approach suffers from the fact that examples that fall outside the range of a particular dataset which the neural net has been trained for, cause the process to fail

Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic computing represents an approach to computing that seeks to simulate the structure and function of the human brain's neural networks

Unlike traditional von Neumann architecture which separates memory and processing units, neuromorphic computing aims to integrate memory and processing within individual units, similar to the way neurons are interconnected in the brain

Key features of neuromorphic can briefly be summarised as follows…

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)

Neuromorphic computing systems are often based on spiking neural networks, which model the behaviour of biological neurons by representing information as spikes or pulses of activity These networks are able to perform large computations concurrently synchronously
