A sparse quantized hopfield network for online-continual memory
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: robotics/AI
Brains and neuromorphic systems learn with local learning rules in online-continual learning scenarios. Designing neural networks that learn effectively under these conditions is challenging. The authors introduce a neural network that implements an effective, principled approach to local, online-continual learning on associative memory tasks.

What are some applications of Neuromorphic Computing?
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: robotics/AI
Definition Neuromorphic computing refers to an emerging field of technology that mimics the structure, dynamics, and efficiency of the human brain to build artificial neural networks and advanced computing systems. By reproducing the brain’s fundamental workings, neuromorphic computing aims to create more efficient and powerful hardware and software solutions for complex, real-time problems. This approach […].

The highest observatory on Earth sits atop Chile’s Andes Mountains — and it’s finally open
Posted by Robert Bosnjak in category: space
“The better astronomical observations of the real thing can be, the more accurately we can reproduce what we see with our experiments on Earth,” Riko Senoo, a graduate student at the University of Tokyo and a TAO researcher, said in the statement. “I hope the next generation of astronomers use TAO and other ground-based and space–based telescopes to make unexpected discoveries that challenge our current understanding and explain the unexplained,” added Masahiro Konishi, a research associate at the University of Tokyo.
Before the newly opened telescope was built, Yoshii and his colleagues also assembled and operated a 1-meter telescope on the mountaintop in 2009. Dubbed miniTAO, the tiny telescope imaged the center of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Two years later, miniTAO received the Guinness World Record for the highest astronomical observatory on Earth.
