Meeting records Transcript 

Summary

Petrut Bogdan confirmed Rosina Haberl as co-chair and acknowledged low attendance due to the Thanksgiving holidays, summarizing initial discussion plans on benchmarking needs for Neurbench and a working group white paper skeleton. Discussions focused on organizing a virtual neuromorphic session, potentially in March at the AJ Foundation event, with Petrut Bogdan suggesting three speakers: Steve Furber, Jason Ishag, and Jason Yee. Rosina Haberl suggested organizing the talks as a longer “neuromorphic day” or “neuromorphic morning” with potentially five presentations, while Petrut Bogdan suggested starting with a series of talks spread out over weeks.

Details

Notes Length: Standard

• Meeting Structure and Attendance Petrut Bogdan confirmed Rosina Haberl as the co-chair for the working group. Petrut Bogdan acknowledged low attendance, attributing it to Thanksgiving holidays, and summarized initially planned discussion topics which included benchmarking needs for Neurbench and establishing a skeleton for a working group white paper (00:00:00).
• Upcoming Neuromorphic Session and Speaker Lineup Discussions centered on organizing a neuromorphic session virtually, potentially around March at the AJ Foundation event, but with the format and time to be determined. Petrut Bogdan mentioned lining up three speakers: Steve Furber, who could cover use cases, algorithms, hardware, and full deployment; Jason Ishag, focusing on training neural networks and SNNs; and Jason Yee, discussing how the community has approached benchmarking so far (00:01:03) (00:06:01).
• Format for Neuromorphic Talks Rosina Haberl suggested organizing the three initial talks as part of a longer virtual event, proposing a “neuromorphic day” or “neuromorphic morning” similar to past successful GenAI events, potentially including five presentations (00:02:35) (00:04:51). Petrut Bogdan expressed concern that having only three people for a full day might be taxing, though acknowledging that Steve Furber alone could talk for a day, and suggested they might start as a series of talks spread out over weeks (00:03:23) (00:08:26). The group agreed that a virtual format would be best for this type of event, eliminating the need for in-person travel (00:06:01).

Suggested next steps

• Petrut Bogdan will sketch out the potential day for the virtual neuromorphic talks and circulate it around to see if the group would like to jump in.
• Rosina Haberl and the group will discuss what would be the next step for presentations or a virtual live stream at a neuromorphic morning.
