  1. 1. Optical Communication using Nanowires and Molecular Memory Systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik

    Author : Thomas Kjellberg Jensen; [2024]
    Keywords : neuromorphic computing; nanowire; molecular dye; DASA photoswitch; OBIC; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is strongly motivated as the reliance on AI-models increases.

  4. 3. Quantifying the Impact of Synaptic Delay and Neuronal Refractory Period on Criticality in Hierarchical Modular Neural Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Hannes Gustafsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Self-organized brain criticality suggests that the brain is able to operate near a critical point.With compelling evidence supporting the theory, it is important to understand whichbiological mechanisms are required for critical dynamics to occur. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Bayesian Bee Colony Algorithm for Hyperparameter Tuning of Stochastic SNNs : A design, development, and proposal of a stochastic spiking neural network and associated tuner

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Keywords : edge computing; edge user allocation; constraint satisfaction problem; bin packing problem; spiking neural networks; SNN; stochastic spiking neural networks; neuromorphic computing; hyperparameter tuning; swarm intellience; artificial bee colony algorithm; tree-structured Parzen estimator; stochastic optimization; Bayesian optimization.;

    Abstract : With the world experiencing a rapid increase in the number of cloud devices, continuing to ensure high-quality connections requires a reimagining of cloud. One proponent, edge computing, consists of many distributed and close-to-consumer edge servers that are hired by the service providers. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modelling synaptic rewiring in brain-like neural networks for representation learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Abstract : This research investigated the concept of a sparsity method inspired by the principles of structural plasticity in the brain in order to create a sparse model of the Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Networks (BCPNN) during the training phase. This was done by extending the structural plasticity in the implementation of the BCPNN. READ MORE
