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
- Variable Bit Precision Logic for Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence (master thesis)
- Embedded Audio Source Localization Exploiting Coincidence Detection in Asynchronous Spike Streams (semester/master thesis)
- Hardware Accelerators for Lossless Quantized Deep Neural Networks (semester/master thesis)
- Low-Energy Cluster-Coupled Vector Coprocessor for Special-Purpose PULP Acceleration (semester/master thesis)
- 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!
