The multidisciplinary team used programmable resistors, which are the central building blocks in analog deep learning, just like transistors are the core elements for building digital processors to produce “analog deep learning”. The resistors are built into repeating arrays to create a complex, layered network of artificial “neurons” and “synapses” that execute computations just like a digital neural network. Such a network can then be trained to achieve complex AI tasks such as image recognition and natural language processing....
