摘要:

随着机器学习和深度学习应用的不断增长,需要更多的计算资源来成功满足始终连接的自动化世界不断增长的需求。基于脉冲神经网络算法的神经形态技术有望通过对人脑的功能和尖峰进行建模,使用一小部分计算和功率需求来实现高级人工智能。随着帮助数据科学家和机器学习工程师开发人工和深度神经网络的最新创新的工具和平台的激增,向新范式的过渡将需要在当前完善的基础上进行构建。本文阐述了基于尖峰信号的神经形态技术的理论工作原理,并综述了硬件处理器、软件平台和神经形态传感设备的最新进展。为当前的机器学习专家铺平了一条发展道路,以更新他们的技能,以及从当前一代深度神经网络到SNN的分类或预测模型。这可以通过利用SpiNNaker和Nengo迁移工具包形式的现有专用硬件来实现。第一手,VGG-16神经网络转换为SNN的实验结果是共享的。一个前瞻性的目光到工业,医疗和商业应用,可以很容易地受益于SNN结束了这项调查到类脑计算的未来。

英文摘要:

The increasing rise in machine learning and deep learning applications is requiring ever more computational resources to successfully meet the growing demands of an always-connected, automated world. Neuromorphic technologies based on Spiking Neural Network algorithms hold the promise to implement advanced artificial intelligence using a fraction of the computations and power requirements by modeling the functioning, and spiking, of the human brain. With the proliferation of tools and platforms aiding data scientists and machine learning engineers to develop the latest innovations in artificial and deep neural networks, a transition to a new paradigm will require building from the current well-established foundations. This paper explains the theoretical workings of neuromorphic technologies based on spikes, and overviews the state-of-art in hardware processors, software platforms and neuromorphic sensing devices. A progression path is paved for current machine learning specialists to update their skillset, as well as classification or predictive models from the current generation of deep neural networks to SNNs. This can be achieved by leveraging existing, specialized hardware in the form of SpiNNaker and the Nengo migration toolkit. First-hand, experimental results of converting a VGG-16 neural network to an SNN are shared. A forward gaze into industrial, medical and commercial applications that can readily benefit from SNNs wraps up this investigation into the neuromorphic computing future.
