Tissue vs. Silicone: Musings on the Future of Deep Learning Hardware and Software, Nir Shavit

What do the properties of neural tissue have to do with the way we process data in convolutional neural networks (CNNs)? Perhaps more than we think. This talk argues that, if anything, neural tissue teaches us that the hardware and software acceleration architectures we are currently building to support AI might not be the right ones, and maybe the solution is right under our nose. Nir Shavit received . and . degrees in Computer Science from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology in 1984 and
