Abstract in brief
Neuromorphic hardware traditionally relies on manually tuned parameters, but biological brains are naturally optimized through evolution and development, inspiring new approaches.
The researchers use gradient-free optimization methods like cross-entropy and evolutionary strategies to improve neuromorphic learning, enabling it to learn efficiently from rewards and adapt through processes like metaplasticity.
This approach allows neuromorphic systems to develop "learning to learn" capabilities, where prior experience accelerates learning new but related tasks, making it ideal for fast, large-scale computations in hardware.]
A new paper co-authored by @HBPNeuromorphic's late great Prof. Karlheinz Meier has revealed remarkable "learning to learn" AI results delivered on the superfast @BrainScaleS analogue neuromorphic platform. https://t.co/BEIqcZ3WOB

"Learns to learn" gives off the feeling of a hyperbolic statement for what is really achieved (just a meta-optimisation of the process of fitting), but the report makes for an interesting reading https://t.co/eVlOCgZZA8
