For the benefit of designing scalable, fault resistant optical neural networks (ONNs), we investigate the effects architectural designs have on the ONNs robustness to imprecise components. We train two ONNs -- one with a more tunable design (GridNet) and one with better fault tolerance (FFTNet) -- to classify handwritten digits. When simulated without any imperfections, GridNet yields a better accuracy (~98%) than FFTNet (~95%). However, under a small amount of error in their photonic components, the more fault tolerant FFTNet overtakes GridNet. We further provide thorough quantitative and qualitative analyses of ONNs sensitivity to varying levels and types of imprecisions. Our results offer guidelines for the principled design of fault-tolerant ONNs as well as a foundation for further research.

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 ex
perimentally 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.
Spiking recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a promising tool for solving a wide variety of complex cognitive and motor tasks, due to their rich temporal dynamics and sparse processing. However training spiking RNNs on dedicated neuromorphic hardware
is still an open challenge. This is due mainly to the lack of local, hardware-friendly learning mechanisms that can solve the temporal credit assignment problem and ensure stable network dynamics, even when the weight resolution is limited. These challenges are further accentuated, if one resorts to using memristive devices for in-memory computing to resolve the von-Neumann bottleneck problem, at the expense of a substantial increase in variability in both the computation and the working memory of the spiking RNNs. To address these challenges and enable online learning in memristive neuromorphic RNNs, we present a simulation framework of differential-architecture crossbar arrays based on an accurate and comprehensive Phase-Change Memory (PCM) device model. We train a spiking RNN whose weights are emulated in the presented simulation framework, using a recently proposed e-prop learning rule. Although e-prop locally approximates the ideal synaptic updates, it is difficult to implement the updates on the memristive substrate due to substantial PCM non-idealities. We compare several widely adapted weight update schemes that primarily aim to cope with these device non-idealities and demonstrate that accumulating gradients can enable online and efficient training of spiking RNN on memristive substrates.
The massively parallel nature of biological information processing plays an important role for its superiority to human-engineered computing devices. In particular, it may hold the key to overcoming the von Neumann bottleneck that limits contemporary
computer architectures. Physical-model neuromorphic devices seek to replicate not only this inherent parallelism, but also aspects of its microscopic dynamics in analog circuits emulating neurons and synapses. However, these machines require network models that are not only adept at solving particular tasks, but that can also cope with the inherent imperfections of analog substrates. We present a spiking network model that performs Bayesian inference through sampling on the BrainScaleS neuromorphic platform, where we use it for generative and discriminative computations on visual data. By illustrating its functionality on this platform, we implicitly demonstrate its robustness to various substrate-specific distortive effects, as well as its accelerated capability for computation. These results showcase the advantages of brain-inspired physical computation and provide important building blocks for large-scale neuromorphic applications.
In cloud and edge computing models, it is important that compute devices at the edge be as power efficient as possible. Long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks have been widely used for natural language processing, time series prediction and ma
ny other sequential data tasks. Thus, for these applications there is increasing need for low-power accelerators for LSTM model inference at the edge. In order to reduce power dissipation due to data transfers within inference devices, there has been significant interest in accelerating vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) operations using non-volatile memory (NVM) weight arrays. In NVM array-based hardware, reduced bit-widths also significantly increases the power efficiency. In this paper, we focus on the application of quantization-aware training algorithm to LSTM models, and the benefits these models bring in terms of resilience against both quantization error and analog device noise. We have shown that only 4-bit NVM weights and 4-bit ADC/DACs are needed to produce equivalent LSTM network performance as floating-point baseline. Reasonable levels of ADC quantization noise and weight noise can be naturally tolerated within our NVMbased quantized LSTM network. Benchmark analysis of our proposed LSTM accelerator for inference has shown at least 2.4x better computing efficiency and 40x higher area efficiency than traditional digital approaches (GPU, FPGA, and ASIC). Some other novel approaches based on NVM promise to deliver higher computing efficiency (up to 4.7x) but require larger arrays with potential higher error rates.
Deeplearning algorithms are revolutionising many aspects of modern life. Typically, they are implemented in CMOS-based hardware with severely limited memory access times and inefficient data-routing. All-optical neural networks without any electro-optic
