Abstract

Deep learning is not new ‘magic’, but rather has a history over a few decades. An overview of some popular Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is offered below. The rest of the chapter reveals how one can use the application-focused insights from Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to engineer SNNs and an approach to convert pre-trained networks to use spikes.
