But these models become computationally expensive as their number of neurons and synapses increases, and they require heavy computer programs to solve their underlying, complex mathematics. And all of this math, similar to many natural phenomena, gets harder to solve with size, meaning we calculate many small steps to arrive at a solution. Now, the same team of scientists has discovered a way to alleviate this bottleneck by solving the differential equation behind how two neurons interact via synapses to unlock a new type of fast and efficient artificial intelligence algorithms....
