Abstract:

In this session, we will discuss theoretical frameworks for building principled neuromorphic algorithms and the features that make an ideal framework for Loihi. We will discuss efforts to develop a robust and flexible system that can go beyond networks that perform just a single task. As well, we will cover how proposed frameworks might synthesize into a high-level abstraction paradigm for building general purpose algorithms.

Speakers

. How can these frameworks contribute to a language to formalize and optimize neuromorphic computing algorithms? How can neuromorphic algorithms be systematized, modularized, combined and reused?

Due to time, please only ask understanding questions during and between talks, and save questions for the general discussion at the end.
