Unsupervised Image Classification Through Time-Multiplexed Photonic Multi-Layer Spiking Convolutional Neural Network

arXiv:2009.08309 · doi:10.1109/ECOC48923.2020.9333320

Abstract

We present results of a deep photonic spiking convolutional neural network, based on two-section VCSELs, targeting image classification. Training is based on unsupervised spike-timing dependent plasticity, whereas neuron time-multiplexing and ultra-fast response are exploited towards a a reduction of the physical neuron count by 90%
