Neural networks have become a hot topic over the last decade, put to work on jobs from recognizing image content to generating text and even playing video games. However, these artificial neural ...

If the early results are borne out, this architecture could vastly accelerate neural networks ... the optical domain the whole time, until the end when we want to read out the answer.

Artificial neural networks are inspired by the early models of sensory processing by the brain. An artificial neural network can be created by simulating a network of model neurons in a computer.
