Francesco Conti

I am a postdoctoral researcher here at IIS since July 2016, and I also hold a position as a research assistant at the University of Bologna, Italy. My interests focus on energy-efficient multicore architectures, with particular emphasis on heterogeneous multicores and cognitive computing architectures. I am interested in the entire technological stack "from Python to Silicon".

Interests

• heterogeneous multicore architectures for energy-efficient and low-power embedded systems
• applications of deep learning and brain-inspired computational models and architectures to low-power digital systems

Available projects

• Towards Online Training of CNNs: Hebbian-Based Deep Learning (semester thesis)
• Deep-Learning Based Phoneme Recognition from a Ultra-Low Power Spiking Cochlea (semester thesis)
• Tiny CNNs for Ultra-Efficient Object Detection on PULP (semester thesis)
• Single-Bit-Synapse Spiking Neural System-on-Chip (master thesis)
• You can also always contact me for projects that have not yet been formalized (semester/master), or with your own project idea!

Running projects

• A Recurrent Neural Network Speech Recognition Chip (semester thesis)
• Ultra-Efficient Visual Classification on Movidius Myriad2 (semester thesis)

Completed projects : 2016

• Design and Implementation of Digital Spiking Neurons for Ultra-Low-Power In-Cluster Coprocessors (master thesis)
• Interfacing PULP with a Brain-Inspired Ultra-Low Power Spiking Cochlea (master thesis)
