Optical Compute Engine Using Deep CNN

Abstract

We present an optical compute engine with implementation of Deep CNNs. CNNs are designed in an organized and hierarchical manner and their convolutional layers, subsampling layers alternate with each other, thus   the intricacy of the data per layer escalates as we traverse in the layered structure, which gives us more efficient results when dealing with complex data sets and computations. CNNs are realised in a distinctive way and vary from other neural networks in how their convolutional and subsampling layers are organised. DCNNs bring us very proficient results when it comes to image classification tasks. Recently, we have understood that generalization is more important when compared to the neural network’s depth for more optimised image classification. Our feature extractors are learned in an unsupervised way, hence the results get more precise after every backpropagation and error correction.
