New framework enables on-chip fine-tuning for photonic vision transformers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Opto-ViT-v2, a novel framework enabling parameter-efficient fine-tuning of vision transformers directly on photonic accelerators. This system addresses challenges in on-chip training by reducing activation storage and weight updates through tensorized low-rank decomposition. Opto-ViT-v2 also incorporates a noise model calibrated with real-world device measurements, demonstrating robustness to photonic noise and achieving high energy efficiency for edge vision systems.
