Towards more energy-efficient Neural Networks? Use your brain!
About

In the last decade many different types of neural networks have been developed. They showed us the amazing power and opportunities of machine learning. On the other hand the whole training process is not that efficient and costs a lot of energy. With that in mind we do know that neural networks are sort of based on the way humans learn. Except that the human brain is much more energy efficient. Could we achieve that same energy-efficient level in artificial neural networks? The answer is yes! I will show you what is often called the third generation neural networks: Spiking Neural Networks.

Olaf de Leeuw
Data ScientistDataworkz
As a graduated Mathematician I'm particularly interested in the techniques and math behind algorithms. How do they search for the optimal solution and why is one algorithm faster than the other? In my work as a Data Scientist I develop algorithms or adapt existing solutions to customer needs and put them into production such they can get the most value out of it. In my own time I love to read popular scientific articles or books about mathematics, physics or astrophysics. Besides this I love traveling and cycling.
