We present a novel method for realizing both causal and acausal weight updates using only forward lookup access of the synaptic connectivity table, permitting memory-efficient implementation.

We present an approach to constructing a neuromorphic device that responds to language input by producing neuron spikes in proportion to the strength of the appropriate positive or negative emotional response.

We find that short synaptic delays are sufficient to implement the dynamical (temporal) aspect of the RNN in the question classification task.

For this, we first propose a method of producing the Gibbs sampler using bio-inspired digital noisy integrate-and-fire neurons.
