Reprogrammable Electro-Optic Nonlinear Activation Functions for Optical Neural Networks [PDF]
We introduce an electro-optic hardware platform for nonlinear activation functions in optical neural networks. The optical-to-optical nonlinearity operates by converting a small portion of the input optical signal into an analog electric signal, which is

Optical interconnection networks based on microring resonators [PDF]
Optical microring resonators can be integrated on a chip to perform switching operations directly in the optical domain. Thus they become a building block to create switching elements in on-chip optical interconnection networks, which promise to overcome

Analyzing Echo-state Networks Using Fractal Dimension [PDF]
This work joins aspects of reservoir optimization, information-theoretic optimal encoding, and at its center fractal analysis. We build on the observation that, due to the recursive nature of recurrent neural networks, input sequences appear as fractal ...
