Title
Neuromorphic Computing from the Computer Science Perspective: Algorithms and Applications
Abstract
Neuromorphic computing is a popular technology for the future of computing. ÌýMuch of the focus in neuromorphic computing research and development has focused on new architectures, devices, and materials, rather than in the software, algorithms, and applications of these systems. ÌýIn this talk, I will overview the field of neuromorphic from the computer science perspective. ÌýI will give an introduction to spiking neural networks, as well as some of the most common algorithms used in the field. ÌýFinally, I will discuss the potential for using neuromorphic systems in real-world applications from scientific data analysis to autonomous vehicles.
