SNN 2021 Poster: How Can We Be So Slow? Realizing the Performance Benefits of Sparse Networks
Channel: Numenta
Date: 2021-07-15

Numenta Director of Machine Learning Architecture Lawrence Spracklen gives an overview of the poster he presented at the SNN Workshop on July 8th and 9th, 2021. 

In this poster “How Can We Be So Slow? Realizing the Performance Benefits of Sparse Networks” by Lawrence Spracklen, Kevin Hunter and Subutai Ahmad, we present the techniques Numenta has developed to achieve a 100x inference task speedup from sparsity and discuss how many of the learnings could be applied to develop fast sparse networks on CPUs.

Numenta is leading the new era of machine intelligence. Our deep experience in theoretical neuroscience research has led to tremendous discoveries on how the brain works. We have developed a framework called the Thousand Brains Theory of Intelligence that will be fundamental to advancing the state of artificial intelligence and machine learning. By applying this theory to existing deep learning systems, we are addressing today’s bottlenecks while enabling tomorrow’s applications.
