Paper: Brain-Inspired Learning on Neuromorphic Substrates
I’m happy to share our new overview paper (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9317744, preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2010.11931) on brain-inspired learning on neuromorphic substrates in (spiking) recurrent neural networks. We systematically analyze how the combination of Real-Time-Recurrent Learning (RTRL; Williams and Zipser,Continue reading
Preprint: The remarkable robustness of surrogate gradient learning for instilling complex function in spiking neural networks
We just put up a new preprint https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.29.176925v1 in which we take a careful look at what makes surrogate gradients work. Spiking neural networks are notoriously hard to train using gradient-based methods due to theirContinue reading
Hiring: Cortical models of predictive processing and learning
We are looking for an intrepid Ph.D. candidate to work on theoretical models of predictive processing and learning. This collaborative project with the Keller Lab is based on the hypothesis that cortical circuits build modelsContinue reading
