Nagele mit Köpfchen - Ep. 08: Spiking Neural Networks and SpikeGPT with Ridger Zhou

from [at] Video Transcriptor | 10 June 2024 | Podcast

Dr Johannes Nagele, Senior Principal AI Researcher and Consultant at [at], hosts the podcast "Nagele mit Köpfchen" in which he discusses the latest trends in AI with AI experts. In this episode, he talks to Ridger Zhou, a PhD student in electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Ridger stops his work SpikeGPT before, a AI-based model that combines spiking neural networks (SNNs) with traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs)and discusses both its possibilities and its disadvantages. Regarding the latter, Ridger notes that SNNs still cannot match the precision and performance of CNNs due to their binary nature. Nevertheless, he emphasises his assumption that SNNs could eventually outperform traditional neural networks in machine learning, as they are able to more closely mimic the functions of the human brain. In addition, how and why SpikeGPT-like models are particularly energy efficient will be discussed, as well as their promising applicability for tasks that require continuous learning. The audience will be encouraged to try out SpikeGPT for themselves.

This summary was created with our in-house video transcriber, which uses OpenAI Whisper to automatically transcribe and summarise video content.
With the ability to process both YouTube URLs and local files (up to 200 MB), the AI application creates accurate transcripts and summaries. Of particular note are the Transcription Engine 1 & 2, which allow transcribed words to be colour-coded according to model confidence - from red (unsafe) to yellow (neutral) to white (safe). This visual aid provides users with a quick assessment of transcription accuracy.
