New training algorithm for analog hardware aims to cut energy use

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new in-situ training algorithm called Lock-in Equilibrium Propagation (LIEP) designed for oscillatory analog hardware. This method aims to reduce energy consumption by providing local gradient information without requiring separate forward and backward passes, potentially enabling learning directly on analog components. LIEP has been demonstrated to be effective for both initial training and performance recovery after parameter perturbations, and while currently validated on shallow networks, it may be extendable to deeper architectures.
