Neural-net computing and machine learning can enable seemingly magical results—from computer face recognition, to on-the-fly image classification, to microsecond translation from Dutch to Mandarin. Under the hood, however, these functions rely largely on grinding through stacks of repeated matrix multiplications, a computationally intense and power-hungry process.

With funding from our #ArmyResearchOffice, researchers at The George Washington University, University of California, Los Angeles, and tech venture startup Optelligence Company, 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, #datacenters, biomedical diagnostics, #datasecurity and more. #ML #AI
