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.

Abstract: Techniques for computing matrix operations for arbitrarily large matrices on a finite-sized hybrid analog-digital matrix processor are described. Techniques for gain adjustment in a finite-sized hybrid analog-digital matrix processor are described which enable the system to obtain higher energy efficiencies, greater physical density and improved numerical accuracy.
