#cnrs — Public Fediverse posts

#Introduction

Hello fediverse,

I am an interdisciplinary theoretical and numerical physicist working at #CNRS and newly affiliated with the SETE in Moulis, Ariège, France, a cutting-edge experimental and theoretical ecology lab researching the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on biodiversity and ecosystems.

For 20+ years before, I was an astrophysicist working at the large Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie IRAP in Toulouse .

In 2023, deeply concerned by the ongoing global crises, I decided to initiate a gradual shift of my research in theoretical and numerical astrophysics (from the Sun to cosmological scales) , plasmas physics and fluid dynamics at IRAP to research the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

I tell the ongoing story of this academic transition and related ethical research musings in a blog, "Looking up".

I am still in the process of building the foundations of my research in ecology, oriented on the theoretical and numerical modelling of ecosystem dynamics in space and time, and how they may shift through sudden bifurcations or more gradual erosion under anthropogenic pressures, with the long-term goal of informing their conservation and restoration. In parallel, I am due to take on a leadership role at SETE in a few months.

While I already had an account on mastodon and even before that on twitter mixing my personal and scientist life, from now on this will be my main academic account talking about environmental science and research policy in an official capacity, while the other will become private and strictly personal.

I may still post the occasional #Birdphotography and #NaturePhotography of #LariegeCestMoche here to pimp this new TL though 😎

RTs welcome if you support science that sincerely and modestly attempts to make sense and a small positive difference for the natural world

Ken Bugul est le nom de plume de l’écrivaine Marietou Mbaye Biléoma, figure majeure de la littérature africaine francophone et de la littérature mondiale, née en 1947 au Sénégal. Elle est particulièrement connue pour sa trilogie autobiographique : Le Baobab Fou (1982), Cendres et Braises (1994) et Riwan ou le chemin de sable (1999) récompensé par le Grand Prix littéraire d’Afrique noire. Toutefois, son œuvre ne s’arrête pas là : huit autres fictions romanesques, publiées entre 2000 et 2022 ont retenu l’attention de la critique et méritent de plus amples analyses.

  • Title: Learning heterogeneous delays in a layer of spiking neurons for fast motion detection
  • The response of a biological neuron depends on the precise timing of afferent spikes. This temporal aspect of the neuronal code is essential in understanding information processing in neurobiology and applies particularly well to the output of neuromorphic hardware such as event-based cameras. However, most artificial neuronal models do not take advantage of this minute temporal dimension. Inspired by this neuroscientific observation, we develop a model for the efficient detection of temporal spiking motifs based on a layer of spiking neurons with heterogeneous delays which we apply to the computer vision task of motion detection. Indeed, the variety of synaptic delays on the dendritic tree allows synchronizing synaptic inputs as they reach the basal dendritic tree. We show this can be formalized as a time-invariant logistic regression which can be trained using labeled data. We apply this model to solve the specific computer vision problem of motion detection, and demonstrate its application to synthetic naturalistic videos transformed into event streams similar to the output of event-based cameras. In particular, we quantify how the accuracy of the model can vary with the total computational load. This end-to-end event-driven computational brick could help improve the performance of future spiking neural network algorithms and their prospective use in neuromorphic chips.

  • Title: Estimating Energy Efficiency of Spiking Neural Networks on neuromorphic hardware
  • Spiking Neural Networks are a type of neural networks where neurons communicate using only spikes. They are often presented as a low-power alternative to classical neural networks, but few works have proven these claims to be true. In this work, we present a metric to estimate the energy consumption of SNNs independently of a specific hardware. We then apply this metric on SNNs processing three different data types (static, dynamic and event-based) representative of real-world applications. As a result, all of our SNNs are 6 to 8 times more efficient than their FNN counterparts.

  • Dr. Andrea Castagnetti (LEAT, Université Côte d'Azur)
  • Title: Trainable quantization for Speedy Spiking Neural Networks
  • Spiking neural networks are considered as the third generation of Artificial Neural Networks. SNNs perform computation using neurons and synapses that communicate using binary and asynchronous signals known as spikes. They have attracted significant research interest over the last years since their computing paradigm allows theoretically sparse and low-power operations. This hypothetical gain, used from the beginning of the neuromorphic research, was however limited by three main factors: the absence of an efficient learning rule competing with the one of classical deep learning, the lack of mature learning framework, and an important data processing latency finally generating energy overhead. While the first two limitations have recently been addressed in the literature, the major problem of latency is not solved yet. Indeed, information is not exchanged instantaneously between spiking neurons but gradually builds up over time as spikes are generated and propagated through the network. This presentation focuses on quantization error, one of the main consequence of the SNN discrete representation of information. We propose an in-depth characterization of SNN quantization noise. We then propose a end-to-end direct learning approach based on a new trainable spiking neural model.

• 16:00

  • Yann Cherdo, PhD student (LEAT, Université Côte d'Azur - Renault)
  • Title: HTM and SNN for a bio inspired time series forecasting
  • In the recent years, Spiking Neural Networks have gain much attention from the research community. They can now be trained using the powerful gradient descent and have drifted from the neuroscience to the Machine Learning community. An abundant literature shows that they can perform well on classical Artificial Intelligence tasks such as image or signal classification while consuming less energy than state-of-the-art models like Convolutional Neural Networks. Yet, there is very little work about their performance on unsupervised anomaly detection and time-series prediction. Indeed, the processing of such temporal data requires different encoding and decoding mechanisms and rises questions about their capacity to model a dynamical signal with long term temporal dependencies. In this presentation, we propose a comparison between Sparse Recurrent Spiking Neural Network and Hierarchical Temporal Memories (HTM). We show that both models perform well on temporal tasks and open a door for further studies of embedded applications for Spiking Neural Networks.
