14. Introduction to the difficulty of realizing a neuromorphic computer

Laboratory:	Dependable System Laboratory
Summary:	Memristor is one of the most expected material to realize the next-generation neuromorphic computer, which can calculate large scale product-sum operation of neural network with one step. On the other hand, since the characteristics of memristors greatly and individually vary due to the immature fabrication, designing a brain-type computer with high generalization performance is a very challenging task. In this seminar, we will confirm the deterioration of neural network generalization performance caused by the process variation through circuit simulation and learn the basic concept of this solution.
Date:	2 days
Capacity:	2
Qualification:	Programming experience in Python
