Developing Smarter, Faster Machine Intelligence with Light

Massively parallel amplitude-only Fourier neural network
A massively parallel amplitude-only Fourier neural network

Researchers at the George Washington University, together with researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the deep-tech venture startup Optelligence LLC, have developed an optical convolutional neural network accelerator capable of processing large amounts of information, on the order of petabytes, per second. This innovation, which harnesses the massive parallelism of light, heralds a new era of optical signal processing for machine learning with numerous applications, including in self-driving cars, 5G networks, data-centers, biomedical diagnostics, data-security and more.

Global demand for machine learning hardware is dramatically outpacing current computing power supplies...
