DeepCA-prosjektet tar sikte på å undersøke en ny kunstig intelligensmetode som får inspirasjon fra naturen, og spesielt cellesystemer. Dette gjør det mulig å koble nettverk av biologiske nevroner (vokst i laboratorium) til et kunstig intelligenssystem, og undersøke potensialene til et hybrid biologisk og kunstig intelligenssystem. Resultatene fra DeepCA-prosjektet har potensialet til å bidra til å bygge kraftigere og effektive datamaskiner (ved å se på hvordan nettverk av biologiske nevroner vokser og kommuniserer) og å identifisere metoder for å koble datamaskiner til biologiske nevroner (med potensielle medisinske applikasjoner for nevrale sykdommer).

The ambitious research goal of the DeepCA project is to create a theoretical and experimental foundation for a novel hybrid deep learning paradigm based on cellular automata and biological neural networks, in order to bridge the gap between neuroscience and deep learning towards self-learning devices that are significantly more efficient than the state-of-the-art. The desired results have the potential for breakthroughs in novel substrates for machine learning (easily transferrable to hardware implementations), as well as direct medical applications. Current deep learning implementations are not easily transferrable to hardware devices for widespread adoption, e.g., to sensor devices and Internet of Things, due to the required computing power and complexity of the underlying architectures. Therefore, a different computing paradigm is needed. Investigating biological neural cultures information processing and dynamics could lead to better, more powerful, energy efficient implementations of deep learning systems. The main hypothesis in DeepCA is that deep architectures of cellular automata reservoir can significantly facilitate the implementation of recurrent neural networks and reservoir dynamics, in order to efficiently interface biological neural networks and implement learning through local interactions. DeepCA combines Norway's leading experts in cellular automata and unconventional computing at OsloMet and neuroscience/neuro-computation at NTNU, with internationally leading researchers in morphogenetic engineering at Manchester Metropolitan University and hyperdimensional computing at Luleå University of Technology, forming together a very strong multidisciplinary team to complete DeepCA's ambitious research tasks. The project manager, Dr. Stefano Nichele, is a young researcher with a proven track record and ability to propose, manage and complete research projects. Nichele is 36 years old and currently Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University.
