“The new processors consist of electronic components that can be connected by wires that mimic biological synapses. Because they are based on large groups of neuron-like elements, they are known as neuromorphic processors, a term credited to the California Institute of Technology physicist Carver Mead, who pioneered the concept in the late 1980s.” • #технологические_прорывы и #будущее_прекрасно - × × ×

The largest class on campus this fall at Stanford was a graduate level machine-learning course covering both statistical and biological approaches, taught by the computer scientist Andrew Ng. More than 760 students enrolled. “That reflects the zeitgeist,” said Terry Sejnowski, a computational neuroscientist at the Salk Institute, who pioneered early biologically inspired algorithms. “Everyone knows there is something big happening, and they’re trying find out what it is.” - × × ×

What, neural networks and transputers are back? - 9000

Транспьютеры сейчас (снова) точно на взлёте, см epiphany, parallela, tilera, etc. - адский хардлайн в засаде

^ Мне казалось, что та же Tilera — она скорее про шутки, похожие на GPU (только не строго SIMD), а не про нейросети в железе (где back propagation и т.п.)? Или просто подходящее железо для моделирования нейросетей? - 9000

Да, я скорее про хорошую платформу. Про qualcommовское "neuromorphic hardware" что-то пока не могу найти приличную бумажку, без маркетинга %( - адский хардлайн в засаде
