Abstract

Embodiments disclosed include methods and systems for signal processing using temporal neural networks integrated with state space models (SSMs). A computing system may receive radar signals, including in-phase and quadrature baseband samples, and extract features using an SSM that captures information associated with phase, frequency, amplitude, and signal structure. The system may generate a modified radar signal that includes temporal dependencies, downsample the modified radar signal to generate an intermediate representation, and provide the intermediate representation to a classifier to automatically identify a modulation type associated with the radar signal. Some embodiments include an SSM-based encoder-decoder architecture for real-time processing of audio signals including speech signals. The architecture may generate a denoised output signal for real-time enhancement of raw input signals on edge devices with reduced latency and memory requirements.

Abstract

Various embodiments provide a secure biometric authentication method using dynamic facial expression gestures and motion. A mobile device captures spatiotemporal data of a user's facial features via a vision sensor and motion data associated with a mobile device's movement via an inertial measurement unit (IMU). A processing system in the mobile device constructs composite spatiotemporal trajectories of facial features by combining the event-based data and motion data, which are then matched to a stored template of biometric gestures associated with an authorized user. A neural network may be used to process these trajectories to determine the dynamic facial features and mobile device movements that correspond to an authorized user. If so, the mobile device may provide access to protected assets or secure operations of a device or to protected files. This dual-layer security approach enhances protection against unauthorized access by requiring precise replication of both facial dynamics and device motion.

Abstract

Systems and methods for multi‑source hidden‑state fusion on edge devices. A processing system executes a state‑space model, accesses a vector database in dynamic random‑access memory, and maintains model state in on‑chip static random‑access memory. The system processes document chunks to form hidden states and computes a key for each chunk. Tuples pairing each key with a hidden state are stored in the database. For a received query, the system computes a query key and retrieves tuples by nearest‑neighbor search using the stored keys and the query key. A fusion function computes a fused hidden state across the retrieved hidden states. The fused hidden state is loaded as the initialization state. The model processes the query tokens from that state and generates answer tokens as a function of the fused state and the query tokens.

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.

Abstract

A system is described that comprises a memory for storing data representative of at least one kernel, a plurality of spiking neuron circuits, and an input module for receiving spikes related to digital data. Each spike is relevant to a spiking neuron circuit and each spike has an associated spatial coordinate corresponding to a location in an input spike array. The system also comprises a transformation module configured to transform a kernel to produce a transformed kernel having an increased resolution relative to the kernel, and/or transform the input spike array to produce a transformed input spike array having an increased resolution relative to the input spike array. The system also comprises a packet collection module configured to collect spikes until a predetermined number of spikes relevant to the input spike array have been collected in a packet in memory, and to organize the collected relevant spikes in the packet based on the spatial coordinates of the spikes, and a convolutional neural processor configured to perform event-based convolution using memory and at least one of the transformed input spike array and the transformed kernel.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provides a system and method of learning and classifying features to identify objects in images using a temporally coded deep spiking neural network, a classifying method by using a reconfigurable spiking neural network device or software comprising configuration logic, a plurality of reconfigurable spiking neurons and a second plurality of synapses. The spiking neural network device or software further comprises a plurality of user-selectable convolution and pooling engines. Each fully connected and convolution engine is capable of learning features, thus producing a plurality of feature map layers corresponding to a plurality of regions respectively, each of the convolution engines being used for obtaining a response of a neuron in the corresponding region. The neurons are modeled as Integrate and Fire neurons with a non-linear time constant, forming individual integrating threshold units with a spike output, eliminating the need for multiplication and addition of floating-point numbers.

Abstract

A method for creating a dynamic neural function library that relates to Artificial Intelligence systems and devices is provided. Within a dynamic neural network (artificial intelligent device), a plurality of control values are autonomously generated during a learning process and thus stored in synaptic registers of the artificial intelligent device that represent a training model of a task or a function learned by the artificial intelligent device. Control Values include, but are not limited to, values that indicate the neurotransmitter level that is present in the synapse, the neurotransmitter type, the connectome, the neuromodulator sensitivity, and other synaptic, dendric delay and axonal delay parameters. These values form collectively a training model. Training models are stored in the dynamic neural function library of the artificial intelligent device. The artificial intelligent device copies the function library to an electronic data processing device memory that is reusable to train another artificial intelligent device.

Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method for controlling a device by recognizing voice commands through a spiking neural network. The system comprises a spiking neural adaptive processor receiving an input stream that is being forwarded from a microphone, a decimation filter and then an artificial cochlea. The spiking neural adaptive processor further comprises a first spiking neural network and a second spiking neural network. The first spiking neural network checks for voice activities in output spikes received from artificial cochlea. If any voice activity is detected, it activates the second spiking neural network and passes the output spike of the artificial cochlea to the second spiking neural network that is further configured to recognize spike patterns indicative of specific voice commands. If the first spiking neural network does not detect any voice activity, it halts the second spiking neural network.
