Researchers Move Closer to Completely Optical Artificial Neural Network
Researchers Move Closer to Completely Optical Artificial Neural Network
Researchers have shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on an optical chip. The research demonstrates that an optical circuit can perform a critical function of an electronics-based artificial neural network, and that it could enable less expensive, faster, and more energy-efficient ways to perform tasks such as speech or image recognition.
