A Domain-Agnostic Approach for Characterization of Lifelong Learning Systems

Megan M. Baker, Alexander New, Mario Aguilar-Simon +44

Despite the advancement of machine learning techniques in recent years, state-of-the-art systems lack robustness to "real world" events, where the input distributions and tasks enc…

Hyperparameter Optimization in Binary Communication Networks for Neuromorphic Deployment

Maryam Parsa, Catherine D. Schuman, Prasanna Date +8

Training neural networks for neuromorphic deployment is non-trivial. There have been a variety of approaches proposed to adapt back-propagation or back-propagation-like algorithms…

Device-aware inference operations in SONOS nonvolatile memory arrays

Christopher H. Bennett, T. Patrick Xiao, Ryan Dellana +10

Non-volatile memory arrays can deploy pre-trained neural network models for edge inference. However, these systems are affected by device-level noise and retention issues. Here, we…

Evaluating complexity and resilience trade-offs in emerging memory inference machines

Christopher H. Bennett, Ryan Dellana, T. Patrick Xiao +6

Neuromorphic-style inference only works well if limited hardware resources are maximized properly, e.g. accuracy continues to scale with parameters and complexity in the face of po…
