商品描述

This book provides novel theoretical foundations and experimental demonstrations of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) in tasks such as radar gesture recognition for IoT devices and autonomous drone navigation using a fusion of retina-inspired event-based camera and radar sensing. The authors describe important new findings about the Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) learning rule, which is widely believed to be one of the key learning mechanisms taking place in the brain. Readers will be enabled to create novel classes of edge AI and robotics applications, using highly energy- and area-efficient SNNs

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了尖峰神經網絡(Spiking Neural Networks, SNNs)在物聯網設備的雷達手勢識別和使用融合視網膜啟發的事件驅動相機與雷達感測的自主無人機導航等任務中的新穎理論基礎和實驗示範。作者描述了有關尖峰時序依賴性可塑性(Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity, STDP)學習規則的重要新發現,這被廣泛認為是大腦中發生的關鍵學習機制之一。讀者將能夠創建新型的邊緣人工智慧和機器人應用,使用高效能且節能的SNNs。

作者簡介

Ali Safa (Member, IEEE) received the M.Sc. degree (highest honors) in electrical engineering from the ULB-VUB, Brussels, Belgium. He joined imec and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) in 2020, where he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in AI-driven processing for extreme edge applications. He has been a visiting researcher at UC San Diego, La Jolla, USA during Spring 2023. He has authored or co-authored more than 30 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. His research interests include neuromorphic AI, continual learning, and sensor fusion for robot perception.

Lars Keuninckx received the M.Eng. degree in telecommunications from Hogeschool Gent, Ghent, Belgium, in 1996, and a B.Sc. in physics and the Ph.D. degree in engineering from Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels, Belgium, in 2009 and 2016, respectively. After his engineering studies, he worked in the industry for several years, designing electronics for automotive, industrial, and medical applications. He joined IMEC, Leuven, in 2019, wherehe is currently Principal Member of Technical Staff in the design of neuromorphic systems. His research interests include the applications of complex dynamics and reservoir computing.

Georges G.E Gielen (Fellow, IEEE) received the MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium, in 1986 and 1990, respectively. He currently is Full Professor in the MICAS research division at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) at KU Leuven. Since 2020 he is Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, and especially in analog and mixed-signal CAD tools and design automation. He is a frequently invited speaker/lecturer and coordinator/partner of several (industrial) research projects in this area, including several European projects. He has (co-)authored 10 books and more than 600 papers in edited books, international journals and conference proceedings. He is a 1997 Laureate of the Belgian Royal Academy of Sciences, Literature and Arts in the discipline of Engineering. He is Fellow of the IEEE since 2002, and received the IEEE CAS Mac Van Valkenburg award in 2015 and the IEEE CAS Charles Desoer award in 2020. He is an elected member of the Academia Europaea.

Francky Catthoor (Fellow, IEEE) received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium in 1987. Between 1987 and 2000, he has headed several research domains in the area of synthesis techniques and architectural methodologies. Since 2000 he is strongly involved in other activities at IMEC including co-exploration of application, computer architecture and deep submicron technology aspects, biomedical systems and IoT sensor nodes, and photo-voltaic modules combined with renewable energy systems, all at IMEC Leuven, Belgium. Currently, he is an IMEC senior fellow. He is also part-time full professor at the Electrical Engineering department of the KU Leuven (ESAT).
