A Comparison of Neuromorphic Classification Tasks

Conference ·

A variety of neural network models and machine learning techniques have arisen over the past decade, and their successes with image classification have been stunning. With other classification tasks, selecting and configuring a neural network solution is not straightforward. In this paper, we evaluate and compare a variety of neural network models, trained by a variety of machine learning techniques, on a variety of classification tasks. While Deep Learning typically exhibits the best classification accuracy, we note the promise of Reservoir Computing, and evolutionary optimization on spiking neural networks. In many cases, these technologies perform as well as, or better than Deep Learning, and the resulting networks are much smaller than their Deep Learning counterparts.
