5th International Workshop on New Approaches for


Multidimensional Signal Processing


NAMSP 2024

Technical University of Sofia, Sofia, Bulgaria

July 25-27, 2024

Plenary Speakers


Prof. Taymoor Mohamed Nazmy, Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Computer and Information Systems, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt


Title of Lecture:

Towards Artificial General Intelligence through Mimic the Brain Abilities


Abstract: this talk will be divided into two parts. The first part (is a review of recent technologies related to Ai, generative, and cognitive intelligence), will focus on describing a set of modern technologies that help towards drawing the road map of general artificial intelligence era.
The emergence of large language models, along with generative intelligence tools, as well as, the systems that support artificial cognition and herald the possibility of artificial consciousness, all of these technologies have become intertwined and are going to be integrated to reach systems that are expected to surpass human intelligence in the near future.
The second part, (is a research work on spiking neural networks applications), emphasizes the importance of using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) that are more biologically realistic than traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Some result on pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) as one type of SNNs will be presenting for image processing applications.
