Towards mixed physical node reservoir computing: light-emitting synaptic reservoir system with dual photoelectric output.

Memristor-based physical reservoir computing holds significant potential for efficiently processing complex spatiotemporal data, which is crucial for advancing artificial intelligence. However, owing to the single physical node mapping characteristic of traditional memristor reservoir computing, it inevitably induces high repeatability of eigenvalues to a certain extent and significantly limits the efficiency and performance of memristor-based reservoir computing for complex tasks. Hence, this work firstly reports an artificial light-emitting synaptic (LES) device with dual photoelectric output for reservoir computing, and a reservoir system with mixed physical nodes is proposed.

Toward Intelligent Display with Neuromorphic Technology.

In the era of the Internet and the Internet of Things, display technology has evolved significantly toward full-scene display and realistic display. Incorporating "intelligence" into displays is a crucial technical approach to meet the demands of this development. Traditional display technology relies on distributed hardware systems to achieve intelligent displays but encounters challenges stemming from the physical separation of sensing, processing, and light-emitting modules.

Cross-layer transmission realized by light-emitting memristor for constructing ultra-deep neural network with transfer learning ability.

Deep neural networks have revolutionized several domains, including autonomous driving, cancer detection, and drug design, and are the foundation for massive artificial intelligence models. However, hardware neural network reports still mainly focus on shallow networks (2 to 5 layers). Implementing deep neural networks in hardware is challenging due to the layer-by-layer structure, resulting in long training times, signal interference, and low accuracy due to gradient explosion/vanishing.
