A 2.1 pJ/SOP 40nm SNN Accelerator Featuring On-chip Transfer Learning using Delta STDP

This work introduces a neuromorphic chip featuring energy-efficient transfer learning capability using a new learning rule, Delta- Spike Time Dependent Plasticity (STDP). Delta STDP enables the neuromorphic chip to leverage on its previous knowledge to learn and to solve different but related tasks at a faster rate and with a limited number (few shots) of training samples. Compared to the unsuperv...
