Experimental reservoir computing with diffractively coupled VCSELs
Moritz Pflüger, Daniel Brunner, Tobias Heuser +3
We present experiments on reservoir computing (RC) using a network of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) that we diffractively couple via an external cavity. Our opti…
Impact of white noise in artificial neural networks trained for classification: performance and noise mitigation strategies
Nadezhda Semenova, Daniel Brunner
In recent years, the hardware implementation of neural networks, leveraging physical coupling and analog neurons has substantially increased in relevance. Such nonlinear and comple…
Annealing-inspired training of an optical neural network with ternary weights
Anas Skalli, Mirko Goldmann, Nasibeh Haghighi +3
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) represent a fundamentally connectionnist and distributed approach to computing, and as such they differ from classical computers that utilize the…
Training of Physical Neural Networks
Ali Momeni, Babak Rahmani, Benjamin Scellier +25
Physical neural networks (PNNs) are a class of neural-like networks that leverage the properties of physical systems to perform computation. While PNNs are so far a niche research…
