Time-multiplexed layer reuse for physical neural networks
Researchers have developed a novel architecture called TIDAL-Net for physical neural networks (PNNs) to address their limited scale compared to digital neural networks. This new design reuses layers over time, effectively increasing the network's depth without a proportional increase in hardware cost. Experiments demonstrate that TIDAL-Net enhances performance on image classification and natural language processing tasks with minimal changes to existing PNN prototypes. AI
