BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI, today released a technical paper detailing the company’s aTENNuate, a lightweight deep state-space autoencoder algorithm that can perform raw audio denoising, super resolution and de-quantization optimized for the edge.

“Real-time Speech Enhancement on Raw Signals with Deep State-space Modeling” further expands BrainChip’s leadership in the neuromorphic event-based computing space by showcasing the company’s approach in advancing state-of-the-art deep learning audio denoising methods. The white paper covers topics related to state-space modeling, network architecture, event-based benchmark experiments and future directions that such an approach can achieve.

BrainChip’s aTENNuate network belongs to the class of state space-based networks called Temporal Neural Networks (TENNs). By virtue of being a state-space model, aTENNuate can capture long-range temporal relationships present in speech signals with stable linear recurrent units. Learning long-range correlations can be useful for capturing global speech patterns or noise profiles, and perhaps implicitly capture semantic contexts to aid speech enhancement performance.

aTENNuate is the latest technological advancement added to BrainChip’s IP portfolio and an expansion of Temporal Event-Based Neural Nets (TENNs), the company’s approach to streaming and sequential data. It complements the company’s neural processor, Akida IP, an event-based technology that is inherently lower power when compared to conventional neural network accelerators. Lower power affords greater scalability and lower operational costs. BrainChip’s Akida™ supports incremental learning and high-speed inference in a wide variety of use cases. Among the markets that BrainChip’s event-based AI technology will impact are the next generation of wearable products, such as earbuds, hearing aids, watches and glasses as well as AIoT devices in the smart home, office, factory or city.
