Abstract:
A method for generating a histogram in a spiking neural network includes counting spikes associated with a latency encoded representation of an object. The method also includes generating the histogram based on the spike count.
Abstract:
A method of quantizing a floating point machine learning network to obtain a fixed point machine learning network using a quantizer may include selecting at least one moment of an input distribution of the floating point machine learning network. The method may also include determining quantizer parameters for quantizing values of the floating point machine learning network based at least in part on the at least one selected moment of the input distribution of the floating point machine learning network to obtain corresponding values of the fixed point machine learning network.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure support a technique for optimized representation of variables in neural systems. Bit-allocation for neural signals and parameters in a neural network described in the present disclosure may comprise allocating quantization levels to the neural signals based on at least one measure of sensitivity of a pre-determined performance metric to quantization errors in the neural signals, and allocating bits to the parameters based on the at least one measure of sensitivity of the pre-determined performance metric to quantization errors in the parameters.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for measuring body impedance based on baseband signal detection in analog domain. Proposed methods and apparatus are able to measure an impedance of human body based on sub-Nyquist sampling of signals. The proposed techniques can be particularly beneficial for reducing overall sensor power when an actuation signal generates electrical signals corresponding to vital signs in humans.
Abstract:
A method of detecting unknown classes is presented and includes generating a first classifier for multiple first classes. In one configuration, an output of the first classifier has a dimension of at least two. The method also includes designing a second classifier to receive the output of the first classifier to decide whether input data belongs to the multiple first classes or at least one second class.
Abstract:
A method for invariantly representing an object using a spiking neural network includes representing the object by a spike sequence. The method also includes determining a reference feature of the object representation. The method further includes transforming the object representation to a canonical form based on the reference feature.
Abstract:
A method of frequency discrimination associated with the Doppler effect is presented. The method includes mapping a first signal to a first plurality of frequency bins and a second signal to a second plurality of frequency bins. The first signal and the second signal corresponding to different times. The method also includes firing a first plurality of neurons based on contents of the first plurality of frequency bins and firing a second plurality of neurons based on contents of the second plurality of frequency bins.
