Abstract

We discuss the Dual-Scale Topology Optoelectronic Processor (D-STOP) neural network, a scalable, optically interconnected neural network architecture. We present the tandem D-STOP system, which provides the connectivity needed for building fully-parallel neural networks with generic gradient-descent learning rules. We review the Content Addressable Network (CAN) learning algorithm, a discrete learning algorithm that provides accelerated learning with reduced hardware requirements. We then show how the CAN algorithm can be effectively mapped onto D-STOP, and we investigate associated optoelectronic hardware tradeoffs.
