Demonstrating Analog Inference on the BrainScaleS-2 Mobile System

no code implementations29 Mar 2021 Yannik Stradmann, Sebastian Billaudelle, Oliver Breitwieser, Falk Leonard Ebert, Arne Emmel, Dan Husmann, Joscha Ilmberger, Eric Müller, Philipp Spilger, Johannes Weis, Johannes Schemmel

We present the BrainScaleS-2 mobile system as a compact analog inference engine based on the BrainScaleS-2 ASIC and demonstrate its capabilities at classifying a medical electrocardiogram dataset.

Stochasticity from function -- why the Bayesian brain may need no noise

no code implementations21 Sep 2018 Dominik Dold, Ilja Bytschok, Akos F. Kungl, Andreas Baumbach, Oliver Breitwieser, Walter Senn, Johannes Schemmel, Karlheinz Meier, Mihai A. Petrovici

An increasing body of evidence suggests that the trial-to-trial variability of spiking activity in the brain is not mere noise, but rather the reflection of a sampling-based encoding scheme for probabilistic computing.

Spiking neurons with short-term synaptic plasticity form superior generative networks

no code implementations24 Sep 2017 Luziwei Leng, Roman Martel, Oliver Breitwieser, Ilja Bytschok, Walter Senn, Johannes Schemmel, Karlheinz Meier, Mihai A. Petrovici

In this work, we use networks of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons that are trained to perform both discriminative and generative tasks in their forward and backward information processing paths, respectively.

Robustness from structure: Inference with hierarchical spiking networks on analog neuromorphic hardware

no code implementations12 Mar 2017 Mihai A. Petrovici, Anna Schroeder, Oliver Breitwieser, Andreas Grübl, Johannes Schemmel, Karlheinz Meier

How spiking networks are able to perform probabilistic inference is an intriguing question, not only for understanding information processing in the brain, but also for transferring these computational principles to neuromorphic silicon circuits.
