We introduce an all-optical Diffractive Deep Neural Network (D2NN) architecture that can learn to implement various functions after deep learning-based design of passive diffractive layers that work collectively. We experimentally demonstrated the success of this framework by creating 3D-printed D2NNs that learned to implement handwritten digit classification and the function of an imaging lens at terahertz spectrum. With the existing plethora of 3D-printing and other lithographic fabrication methods as well as spatial-light-modulators, this all-optical deep learning framework can perform, at the speed of light, various complex functions that computer-based neural networks can implement, and will find applications in all-optical image analysis, feature detection and object classification, also enabling new camera designs and optical components that can learn to perform unique tasks using D2NNs.

We report a broadband diffractive optical neural network design that simultaneously processes a continuum of wavelengths generated by a temporally-incoherent broadband source to all-optically perform a specific task learned using deep learning. We experimentally validated the success of this broadband diffractive neural network architecture by designing, fabricating and testing seven different multi-layer, diffractive optical systems that transform the optical wavefront generated by a broadband THz pulse to realize (1) a series of tunable, single passband as well as dual passband spectral filters, and (2) spatially-controlled wavelength de-multiplexing. Merging the native or engineered dispersion of various material systems with a deep learning-based design strategy, broadband diffractive neural networks help us engineer light-matter interaction in 3D, diverging from intuitive and analytical design methods to create task-specific optical components that can all-optically perform deterministic tasks or statistical inference for optical machine learning.
Realization of deep learning with coherent diffraction has achieved remarkable development nowadays, which benefits on the fact that matrix multiplication can be optically executed in parallel as well as with little power consumption. Coherent optical field propagated in the form of complex-value entity can be manipulated into a task-oriented output with statistical inference. In this paper, we present a unitary learning protocol on deep diffractive neural network, meeting the physical unitary prior in coherent diffraction. Unitary learning is a backpropagation serving to unitary weights update through the gradient translation between Euclidean and Riemannian space. The temporal-space evolution characteristic in unitary learning is formulated and elucidated. Particularly a compatible condition on how to select the nonlinear activations in complex space is unveiled, encapsulating the fundamental sigmoid, tanh and quasi-ReLu in complex space. As a preliminary application, deep diffractive neural network with unitary learning is tentatively implemented on the 2D classification and verification tasks.
Training sparse neural networks with adaptive connectivity is an active research topic. Such networks require less storage and have lower computational complexity compared to their dense counterparts. The Sparse Evolutionary Training (SET) procedure uses weights magnitude to evolve efficiently the topology of a sparse network to fit the dataset, while enabling it to have quadratically less parameters than its dense counterpart. To this end, we propose a novel approach that evolves a sparse network topology based on the behavior of neurons in the network. More exactly, the cosine similarities between the activations of any two neurons are used to determine which connections are added to or removed from the network. By integrating our approach within the SET procedure, we propose 5 new algorithms to train sparse neural networks. We argue that our approach has low additional computational complexity and we draw a parallel to Hebbian learning. Experiments are performed on 8 datasets taken from various domains to demonstrate the general applicability of our approach. Even without optimizing hyperparameters for specific datasets, the experiments show that our proposed training algorithms usually outperform SET and state-of-the-art dense neural network techniques. The last but not the least, we show that the evolved connectivity patterns of the input neurons reflect their impact on the classification task.
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are well suited for spatio-temporal learning and implementations on energy-efficient event-driven neuromorphic processors. However, existing SNN error backpropagation (BP) methods lack proper handling of spiking discontinuities and suffer from low performance compared with the BP methods for traditional artificial neural networks. In addition, a large number of time steps are typically required to achieve decent performance, leading to high latency and rendering spike-based computation unscalable to deep architectures. We present a novel Temporal Spike Sequence Learning Backpropagation (TSSL-BP) method for training deep SNNs, which breaks down error backpropagation across two types of inter-neuron and intra-neuron dependencies and leads to improved temporal learning precision. It captures inter-neuron dependencies through presynaptic firing times by considering the all-or-none characteristics of firing activities and captures intra-neuron dependencies by handling the internal evolution of each neuronal state in time. TSSL-BP efficiently trains deep SNNs within a much shortened temporal window of a few steps while improving the accuracy for various image classification datasets including CIFAR10.
