speaker_bio: 'Ramashish Gaurav (Ram) is a 3rd year Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech, USA. He is supervised by Prof. Yang (Cindy) Yi in her BRICC Lab, ECE @ VT. Of late, Ram has been working on reservoir-based spiking models
14+
for Time Series Classification (TSC). Reservoir Computing is a well-established domain for time-series
15+
processing where a reservoir of statically (and recurrently) connected neurons compute high
16+
dimensional temporal features, over which a linear readout layer learns the mapping to the output.'
17+
---
18+
19+
In his recent work [1], Ram designed the Legendre-SNN (LSNN), a simple - yet high performing SNN model
20+
(for univariate TSC) where he has used the Legendre Delay Network (LDN) [2] as a non-spiking reservoir
21+
(in fact, the LDN in LSNN is implemented with just basic matrix-operations). In a subsequent work
22+
(currently under review), he extended his LSNN to DeepLSNN that accounts for multivariate time-series
23+
signals too; upon experimenting with it, he found that DeepLSNN models outperform a popular (and
24+
complex) LSTM-Conv integrated model [3] on more than 30% of 101 TSC datasets. His latest work is on
25+
the evaluation of Legendre-SNN on the Loihi-2 chip [4] — on which this talk is focused at.
26+
Legendre-SNN is composed of a non-spiking LDN followed by one spiking hidden layer and an output
27+
layer. The Loihi-2 chip has got two On-chip computational resources: low-power x86 Lakemont (LMT)
28+
microprocessors (total 6) and NeuroCores (total 128). The LMT cores support only INT32-bit operations
29+
and NeuroCores support deployment of spiking networks. With minimal documentation to program the
30+
LMT cores, the challenge was -- how to deploy the Legendre-SNN in its entirety (and evaluate it) on a
31+
Loihi-2 chip. In this talk, Ram will present the technical specifics of implementing the non-spiking LDN on
32+
an LMT core (the spiking network post the LDN is deployed on NeuroCores). His work: “Legendre-SNN
33+
on Loihi-2” [4] adds to the scarce technical-documentation to program LMT cores and presents a pipeline
34+
to deploy an SNN model composed of non-spiking & spiking components -- entirely on Loihi-2.
