Abstract:

In this session, we will discuss theoretical frameworks for building principled neuromorphic algorithms. 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.
