Project description

The focus of the project is unconventional computing, and, specifically, the development of novel neuro-inspired algorithms and their hardware realizations that can make future intelligent systems far more efficient and powerful.

Todays intelligent systems rely on massive datasets and large-scale computing infrastructure, which limits who can use them and where they can be deployed. In contrast, biological brains achieve remark...
