ECE post-graduate student won the second prize in 2019 International Collegiate Competition for Brain-Inspired Computing.
The joint team from Human Language Technology Laboratory (NUS), and Multimedia and Interactive Computing Laboratory (NTU) emerged as one of the Second Prize winners in the 2019 International Collegiate Competition for Brain-Inspired Computing. The winning team is led by post-graduate student Wu Jibin supervised by Prof Li Haizhou from ECE Department.
They received a certificate, as well as prize money of RMB 60,000. The award recognises the latest technology breakthrough in the learning algorithm for biologically plausible spiking neural networks. The highlight of the research includes the successful neuromorphic implementation of several large-scale pattern recognition tasks, such as image classification, automatic speech recognition and speech separation.
More than 200 international teams participated in the competition held on the 19th and 20th October 2019 in Tsinghua University, China. The participating entries covered hardware, software, and applications in the area of brain-inspired computing for artificial general intelligence.
