CEA-Leti is coordinating the European MeM-Scales project, which kicked off in early April. The focus? Neuromorphic chips capable of learning on several time scales. These brain-inspired chips can learn simultaneously at millisecond intervals (axon transmission), at second intervals (spoken language), or at much longer intervals (motor skills). The nine-partner project consortium is working on autonomous […] >>
