Learning connection delays with backpropagation in spiking neural networks

Abstract:
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are appealing for AI because they are particularly energy-efficient when implemented on event-driven neuromorphic chips. Interest in them has surged recently due to a major breakthrough, known as surrogate gradient learning (SGL), which enables training SNNs via backpropagation, thereby solving real-world problems.

Human Natural Identity and Deepfake Processing - Insights from Super-Recognizers, Law Enforcement and Society

Recent technological advances and related societal issues have led to a surge of both attention towards and misconceptions around the concept of “face recognition”. The arguably most important facet of face recognition — identity processing — is neither a solved, nor easy problem. On the contrary, it is a typically underestimated, highly complex skill that our brains have developed to efficiently master.
