What are neuromorphic algorithms #14

Thanks for your organization! I wonder what can be counted as neuromorphic algorithms. Is it that only SNNs are allowed? Could you give a definition? Thanks.

I want to point you to Sec III, esp. Table I, of the Intel N-DNS Challenge paper for a more elaborate description of neuromorphic algorithms. In short, they are brain-inspired networks that work well on neuromorphic hardware. We do not restrict the neuromorphic denoiser to SNNs. It could be any network that runs efficiently on a neuromorphic hardware like Loihi 2. If you have a non-SNN solution that performs well on the challenge metrics, and potentially runs efficiently on Loihi 2, you are more than welcome to submit such a solution.
