BRN Discussion Ongoing

Timothee Masquelier, big SNN Spike Lover, works with Simon Thorpe (JAST). Timothee Masquelier might be the "T" in JAST if memory serves correctly.

Yes, another sleepy deep read where Brainchip potential solutions are in highly technical depth!
Sorry, buy you get to learn about Quadratic Spike Penalization Loss.

What I thought was neat is the math, where in my terms "break out of situation, after 4 spikes exceed the thresholds". It is my understanding, that part of the power reduction techniques, is after the first 4 detections over-the-thresholds, it breaks out of the loop (so to speak, there is no loop).

Yes, after meeting these event results, then Akida ignores or does less processing on the rest of the event data.

This appears to be the Math! I could be way off.

Ahh yes the T in JAST as our learned poster here @Jefwilto reminded me some time back.

Akida 1.0 two page Product Brief "Final". An excellent sales/marketing tool used.

Final might mean, all development of new features is going to Akida 2.x version next!

Not sure if this document made it here. It is a summary PDF by Kristofer Carlson at TinyML a few months back.

PDFs are a pain for me on my tablet, but even on the 32" PC screen, this document needs mega zooming.

Just want to make sure our tech experts here get a chance to at least brief over everything that is publicly available.

AFRL Information Directorate Awards $406M InSITE Deal to Northrop Grumman​

The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate has awarded Northrop Grumman a $406 million contract to carry out the Intelligence Systems Infrastructure, Tools and Enhancements program.

InSITE is aimed at modernizing information collection and analysis capabilities through artificial intelligence, potentially enhancing decision-making by warfighters across domains.

Northrop plans to facilitate data exchange activities between various Department of Defense and intelligence community installations by introducing cloud-based applications.

According to Rebecca Torzone, vice president and general manager of combat systems and mission readiness, the contract award continues a 40-year partnership between Northrop and AFRL/RI and supports the achievement of space domain awareness and counter-space intelligence goals, Northrop said.

AFRL/RI’s mission is to develop technologies that ensure that the U.S. has an advantage in the areas of command, control, communications, computers and intelligence. Its specific aims include enabling warfighters to quickly receive critical information, establishing dominance in the cyber domain, facilitating the fusion of large quantities of data for decision-making purposes and developing complex C2 capabilities.

Some of the directorate’s areas of research and development include radio frequency, small unmanned aerial systems and neuromorphic and quantum computing.

Another concern for AFRL/RI is the implementation of reliable cloud connectivity for warfighters in remote areas. Norman Leach, an official within the directorate, called for building redundancy with hotspots and satellite communications to ensure that personnel can continue working on their missions.

As we all know, AFRL selected Brainchip to utilise it’s neuromorphic technology in early 2022 for a radar solution. Glad to see neuromorphic computing is still a research focus for them in 2023.

Thanks @sonofkong ... can someone please tell me how to download the document, can't seem to do it on linkedin.

Is this what you are looking for not sure if someone already sorted you out.

Anil shared the Brainchip benchmark post on his LinkedIn account.

He got three interesting likes.

Probably shared here before. Much interest for me as I've been working on projects that tracks people by their wifi signal and also being able to see number of people in a room and where they are positioned.(through walls)

Do yourself a favour and turn off WiFi scanning in your improve location accuracy setting. And wifi when not in use (phone)

AliveCor is/maybe/apparently testing the Brainchip Akida SNN solution for ECG medical wearables. Sounds like they concluded to move forward and test it on hardware. Notice the "future goal" and the first 2 references.

Conclusion, Limitation & Future works:
In this work, we have proved the efficacy of a new Peak based encoder along with different spiking networks for ECG classification by testing them on five widely varying ECG datasets.

Encoding performance of Peak encoder can be improved by removing the noise peaks in ECG signal by correlating the signal from another auxiliary low energy sensor like an accelerometer.

Our SNNs are not tested on real NC hardware such as Brainchip Akida [2] and Intel Loihi [19].

Our future goal is to benchmark the SNNs and encoders on those hardware.

Excellent find Stuart I don't recall seeing this before.

Hi all

I chimed in late on this one because things were a bit spicy here a few days ago…

Just remember, this community moderates it’s own member posts. If something is off / against rules, hit report - when enough do this, the post goes away. It’s very simple.

Now one more thing - I have had some people tell me that FF’s posts formed some part of their DD on BRN.

Please reread the rules and terms & conditions of the site before continuing to post or read anything beyond what I’ve said here, if that is you.

You’ll find that everyone is providing their own opinion only as an unlicensed individual. My own opinion on this matter is that you should do you own DD / be smarter than that / choose your investments wisely, regardless of what someone says online.

It feels like the teacher has walked back into the room and everybody has started to behave.

Fwiw - things are like this for a reason. More minds and perspective on what is reasonable or not is better than just one, being my own.

Further, I can’t be there to judge every post. I have a job, where I lead many people and design complex systems and rules for the product(s) and company to operate on/with, and I also have a family, operate a bee farm, and another child due to be born in approx 2 months now.

So the community has the power and I intend to keep it that way. With great power comes great responsibility. It would be awesome to see the community manage itself!

First of all congratulations on the impending arrival of new child to the family.
From what I've seen, I think the community has done pretty good job so far. There's always going to be flare ups and odd occasions of unnecessary immoral comments.
I made a comment a while back that I thought you had Akida running the forum as it seems to be running autonomously
And finally no one should be relying on any poster for their due diligence. And if so, for goodness sake do due diligence on their due diligence and commentary.
