Scaling laws and topology-properties of Boolean greedy learning in photonic neural networks

International audienceSince recent years artificial intelligence and more particularly neural networks play a major role in our technological societies. Nevertheless, neural networks still remain emulated by traditional computers, resulting in challenging problems such as parallelization, energy efficiency and potentially speed. A change of paradigm is desirable but implementating neural networks in hardware is a non-trivial challenge. One highly promising avenue are optical neural networks [1], potentially avoiding parallelization bottlenecks
