‘Grow-and-prune’ AI mimics brain development, slashes energy use

Princeton researchers, led by electrical engineering professor Niraj Jha, developed a technique that produces advanced artificial intelligence programs for wearable devices like a smart watch. By mimicking the brain’s developmental arc, the new approach leads to benchmark accuracy using a fraction of the energy of other systems. https://www.princeton.edu/news/2019/12/20/grow-and-prune-ai-mimics-brain-development-slashes-energy-use
