In recent years various learning algorithms for spike-based neural networks have been proposed including Hebbian learning and spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP). At the same time the behavior of state-changing memristive devices shows promissing results for their integration in neural networks.
In this project we seek to advance the implementation of stochastic memristive devices as synaptic building blocks and their ability to reproduce learning models. Based on models obtained from physical devices you will simulate neural networks consisting of memristive devices and integrate-and-fire neurons. Different network topologies and learning performances will be evaluated on common machine learning tasks.
In case this would not find enough interest for a team project, this project proposal would be also offered (in reduced/modified form)

Student information |
The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
