The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence
The field of artificial intelligence has made significant progress in data processing and analysis, particularly in the area of neural networks. The focus has shifted towards developing AI accelerators to handle the training of large models with billions of parameters, but these networks can be costly to operate.
Introducing Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs)
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) offer a potential solution to the high costs of traditional networks by drawing inspiration from biological neural computation processes. SNNs operate on temporally sparse computations, reducing energy consumption and hardware requirements. However, their recurrent nature presents unique challenges, especially in leveraging modern AI accelerators.
