  • Patent number: 11709520
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing matrix operations using a path-number balanced optical network are provided. The optical network is formed as an array including active optical components and passive optical components arranged at a substantially central location of the array. The optical network includes at least NM active optical components which are used to implement a first matrix of any size N×M by embedding the first matrix in a second matrix of a larger size. The optical network performs matrix-vector and matrix-matrix operations by propagating one or more pluralities of optical signals corresponding to an input vector through the optical network.

  • Publication number: 20220366308
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for training a matrix-based differentiable program using a photonics-based processor. The matrix-based differentiable program includes at least one matrix-valued variable associated with a matrix of values in a Euclidean vector space. The method comprises configuring components of the photonics-based processor to represent the matrix of values as an angular representation, processing, using the components of the photonics-based processor, training data to compute an error vector, determining in parallel, at least some gradients of parameters of the angular representation, wherein the determining is based on the error vector and a current input training vector, and updating the matrix of values by updating the angular representation based on the determined gradients.

  • Publication number: 20220172052
    Abstract: Described herein are techniques of training a machine learning model and performing inference using an analog processor. Some embodiments mitigate the loss in performance of a machine learning model resulting from a lower precision of an analog processor by using an adaptive block floating-point representation of numbers for the analog processor. Some embodiments mitigate the loss in performance of a machine learning model due to noise that is present when using an analog processor. The techniques involve training the machine learning model such that it is robust to noise.
