Developmental Systems!*


*Overview*

The development of novel data representation and learning approaches from
recent advances in neuromorphic systems have shown appealing computational
advantages. For example, using neural coding theory to represent the
external sensory data, and developing spiking timing based learning
algorithm have achieved real-time learning performance, either in
neuromorphic computational models or hardware systems. Attributed to the
new visual or auditory sensors, neuromorphic hardware has provided a
fundamentally different technique for data representation, i.e.,
asynchronous events rather than frames of images as in main stream
recognition algorithms. However, the current neuromorphic information
processing algorithms are not comparable to achieve sophisticated features
and power learning performance as what machine learning approaches can
offer. One promising method is to develop integrated learning models that
apply brain-like data presentation and learning mechanisms, e.g.,
implementing deep learning in neuromorphic systems. Neuromorphic systems
also overlap with another framework called cyborg intelligence, combining
brain functions with computational machines to achieve the best of both via
brain-machine interface. The workshop will target the challenging problems
in these areas by reporting new solutions, theoretical and technical
advances in neuromorphic computing and cyborg intelligence from the
worldwide researchers and engineers.
