About this Unit
Designing and implementing processing pipelines for event-based sensory data is a crucial skill for neuromorphic engineers to test novel hardware platforms or to develop new algorithms and learning mechanisms. This project-based unit focuses on principles of neuromorphic algorithm design and hardware-friendly neural architecture design for neuromorphic information processors. This unit consists of two streams of research: applied event-based algorithms and bio-inspired spiking networks. Through solving increasingly challenging tasks using distributed, event-based competitive processing elements, students will learn the differences between conventional and neuromorphic algorithm design, critically assessing real-world problems in a structured manner.
