Physical Neural Networks optimized with trainable routing

Researchers have developed a novel method for optimizing Physical Neural Networks (PNNs) by treating the routing between signals and input variables as trainable parameters. This approach, utilizing Gumbel-Softmax reparametrization, enhances the expressivity of PNNs with minimal inference overhead. Experiments on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets showed significant accuracy improvements, with MNIST classification rising from 94.5% to 96.9% and CIFAR-10 from 62.8% to 68.0% for a small CNN model. AI
