Spike Net
Spike net is an exciting two-on-two volleyball net game where two opponents compete against each other with up to three hits allowed per point, the objective being for players on one team to spike the ball past that of their opposing team and score a point for themselves.
The brain performs complex computations on temporally dispersed information such as visual input streams or sequences of symbols. We demonstrate that SNNs with their spiking dynamics exhibit a simple computational mechanism which improves performance for these tasks.
Early Life and Education
Spike net is a computer network designed to simulate some of the functions found within human minds and enable computers to behave cognitively and human-like. It’s an unsupervised learning and recognition system which uses feature networks to identify spike regions within digital wheat images.
The initial layer consists of 16 PRE neurons and one POST neuron connected via artificial hybrid synapses capable of STDP. STDP characteristics were validated using pulses with 1ms width at different voltage levels and resistance R measurement post pulse for potentiation (0 ms Dt 10ms) or depression (10ms Dt 0).
Training of neural networks utilizes a stochastic training method. Each epoch of training presents images or noise to the network for examination. After 3 phases of sequential training sessions, it becomes capable of learning patterns.
Professional Career
Spike Net is a premier digital portal offering volleyball content and real-time event coverage. Their team comprises current and retired volleyball players as well as experts in sports media and marketing, with offices located in Smyrna Georgia as well as Brooklyn New York and Arcadia California.
Spike attended the University of Florida from 2006 to 2009. While at UF, he helped lead them to two BCS national titles and earned first team All-American status. Following that season he was drafted by New England Patriots with an initial four year contract including a $960,000 signing bonus and over $1.44 Million guaranteed money.
After four seasons with the Patriots, he was traded to the Buffalo Bills where he would go on to play two seasons before retiring from professional football altogether in 2016. Since then he has worked as an inspirational speaker and youth football coach.
Achievement and Honors
The Spike TV Video Game Awards (commonly referred to as VGAs or VGX) was an award show which celebrated the best computer and video games released during 2015. Hosted by GameTrailers TV’s Geoff Keighley and broadcast from Los Angeles, California.
Spiking neural networks offer several distinct advantages over artificial neural networks (ANNs). Instead of requiring training of all neurons for desired outputs to achieve optimal performance, spiking neural networks can learn only in response to certain input patterns, offering significant advantage over models which attempt to replicate biological neural networks.
2024 marks the debut of an innovative category called Excellence in Media Craft that takes into account the ever-evolving landscape of media, creative strategy and its role in changing consumer behaviour on an industrial scale. This award will honor work that utilizes media to communicate a brand message while altering behavior at scale.
Personal Life
Spike Lee has long been recognized as an innovator and visionary filmmaker. His incendiary brand of cinema – depicting life through Black eyes in America in all its brutal reality – continues to make an impactful statement about life today.
As well as his film career, he also directs music videos and TV shows. Most recently he directed Aziz Ansari: Right Now for television as well as FKA Twigs’ four-minute film. Additionally he co-founded Viceland television channel which offers documentary programs targeted at millennials.
Spike is an attentive husband and father to two young children; an avid supporter of Arsenal FC and New York Knicks; as well as owning both a Bed Stuy brownstone home as well as two acres in Martha’s Vineyard.
