TLDR
A new architecture for a fully optical neural network is demonstrated that enables a computational speed enhancement of at least two orders of magnitude and three order of magnitude in power efficiency over state-of-the-art electronics.Abstract:
Artificial Neural Networks have dramatically improved performance for many machine learning tasks. We demonstrate a new architecture for a fully optical neural network that enables a computational speed enhancement of at least two orders of magnitude and three orders of magnitude in power efficiency over state-of-the-art electronics.read more

Reversibly Programmable Photonics via Responsive Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Cladding
Mahir Asif Mohammed,Christian C. M. Sproncken,Berta Gumí-Audenis,Emilija Lazdanaité,Ripalta Stabile,Ilja K. Voets,Oded Raz +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a reversible programmable photonic integrated circuits (PIC) using a responsive polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) cladding is presented, where reversible de-swelling of PEMs by consecutive exposure to acidic and neutral pH solutions yields highly contrasting refractive index changes in the dry film.

ImageNet Classification with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
TL;DR: The state-of-the-art performance of CNNs was achieved by Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNNs) as discussed by the authors, which consists of five convolutional layers, some of which are followed by max-pooling layers, and three fully-connected layers with a final 1000-way softmax.

Deep learning
TL;DR: Deep learning is making major advances in solving problems that have resisted the best attempts of the artificial intelligence community for many years, and will have many more successes in the near future because it requires very little engineering by hand and can easily take advantage of increases in the amount of available computation and data.
