  • Patent number: 11657257
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for an improved spiking neural network (SNN) configured to learn and perform unsupervised extraction of features from an input stream. An embodiment operates by receiving a set of spike bits corresponding to a set synapses associated with a spiking neuron circuit. The embodiment applies a first logical AND function to a first spike bit in the set of spike bits and a first synaptic weight of a first synapse in the set of synapses. The embodiment increments a membrane potential value associated with the spiking neuron circuit based on the applying. The embodiment determines that the membrane potential value associated with the spiking neuron circuit reached a learning threshold value. The embodiment then performs a Spike Time Dependent Plasticity (STDP) learning function based on the determination that the membrane potential value of the spiking neuron circuit reached the learning threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11429857
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system and method embodiments for establishing secure communication with a remote artificial intelligent device. An embodiment operates by capturing an auditory signal from an auditory source. The embodiment coverts the auditory signal into a plurality of pulses having a spatio-temporal distribution. The embodiment identifies an acoustic signature in the auditory signal based on the plurality of pulses using a spatio-temporal neural network. The embodiment modifies synaptic strengths in the spatio-temporal neural network in response to the identifying thereby causing the spatio-temporal neural network to learn to respond to the acoustic signature in the acoustic signal.

  • Publication number: 20150379397
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provides a system and a method for connecting two or more parts of a distributed and spatio-temporal spiking neural network by a means of communication, such as the Internet, used for recognizing and identifying acoustic signals using acoustic signature recognition by means of a spatio-temporal neural network. The first artificial intelligent device identifies features in a series of spatio-temporal pulse streams received from an artificial cochlear, and learns to respond to the pulse streams. The features of the pulse stream identifying an event learned by the first artificial intelligent device are transmitted to the remote artificial intelligent device over a communication protocol via a Series Address Event Representation bus, where the remote artificial intelligent device learns to respond. Further, a computing device may be connected to the remote artificial intelligent device for analyzing and controlling one or more appliances from anywhere in the world.
