Random pattern and frequency generation using a photonic reservoir computer with output feedback
Piotr Antonik, Michiel Hermans, Marc Haelterman +1
Reservoir computing is a bio-inspired computing paradigm for processing time dependent signals. The performance of its analogue implementations matches other digital algorithms on…
A Differentiable Physics Engine for Deep Learning in Robotics
Jonas Degrave, Michiel Hermans, Joni Dambre +1
An important field in robotics is the optimization of controllers. Currently, robots are often treated as a black box in this optimization process, which is the reason why derivati…
Towards Trainable Media: Using Waves for Neural Network-Style Training
Michiel Hermans, Thomas Van Vaerenbergh
In this paper we study the concept of using the interaction between waves and a trainable medium in order to construct a matrix-vector multiplier. In particular we study such a dev…
Photonic Delay Systems as Machine Learning Implementations
Michiel Hermans, Miguel Soriano, Joni Dambre +2
Nonlinear photonic delay systems present interesting implementation platforms for machine learning models. They can be extremely fast, offer great degrees of parallelism and potent…
Trainable and Dynamic Computing: Error Backpropagation through Physical Media
Michiel Hermans, Michaël Burm, Joni Dambre +1
Machine learning algorithms, and more in particular neural networks, arguably experience a revolution in terms of performance. Currently, the best systems we have for speech recogn…
