The Physical Effects of Learning

Menachem Stern, Andrea J. Liu, Vijay Balasubramanian

Interacting many-body physical systems ranging from neural networks in the brain to folding proteins to self-modifying electrical circuits can learn to perform diverse tasks. This…

Learning to self-fold at a bifurcation

Chukwunonso Arinze, Menachem Stern, Sidney R. Nagel +1

Disordered mechanical systems can deform along a network of pathways that branch and recombine at special configurations called bifurcation points. Multiple pathways are accessible…

Desynchronous Learning in a Physics-Driven Learning Network

Jacob F Wycoff, Sam Dillavou, Menachem Stern +2

In a neuron network, synapses update individually using local information, allowing for entirely decentralized learning. In contrast, elements in an artificial neural network (ANN)…
