Live demonstration: Unsupervised character recognition with a FPGA neuromorphic system
Conference Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
For this demonstration, we have implemented a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and trained it using Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) to identify temporally encoded characters, in an unsupervised manner. The constructed one-layer network consists of plastic excitatory and non-plastic inhibitory synapses, which are connected to output Izhikevich neurons. The implemented neural hardware demonstrates a powerful and fast learning scheme, which brings about a significant unsupervised classification accuracy of 94 %.
