Query: Is my Neural Network Neuromorphic? Taxonomy, Recent Trends and Future
  Directions in Neuromorphic Engineering   In this paper, we review recent work published over the last 3 years under
the umbrella of Neuromorphic engineering to analyze what are the common
features among such systems. We see that there is no clear consensus but each
system has one or more of the following features:(1) Analog computing (2) Non
vonNeumann Architecture and low-precision digital processing (3) Spiking Neural
Networks (SNN) with components closely related to biology. We compare recent
machine learning accelerator chips to show that indeed analog processing and
reduced bit precision architectures have best throughput, energy and area
efficiencies. However, pure digital architectures can also achieve quite high
efficiencies by just adopting a non von-Neumann architecture. Given the design
automation tools for digital hardware design, it raises a question on the
likelihood of adoption of analog processing in the near future for industrial
designs. Next, we argue about the importance of defining standards and choosing
proper benchmarks for the progress of neuromorphic system designs and propose
some desired characteristics of such benchmarks. Finally, we show brain-machine
interfaces as a potential task that fulfils all the criteria of such
benchmarks.
