I am very happy to join Sony R&D in Zurich!

After five years working in the lab on modeling, training and benchmarking neuromorphic computing algorithms and systems, I think that we can push these solution into the real world.

To do that, we need to show our added value and competitive advantage at the system level. Therefore, we need to put together the pieces of the neuromorphic puzzle: sensors, processors and algorithms. And it starts from the sensors, where we trake inspiration from biology to only sense changes in the environment using evet-based vision sensors.

Lyes Khacef has received the first thesis prize from the STIC doctoral school in Université Côte d’Azur. The thesis discusses the modeled self-organizing artificial neural networks thanks to a mechanism of structural plasticity to create or cut connections, as well as a mechanism of synaptic plasticity which allows to modify the strength of these connections.
