Novel Semiconductor Neuron Tunes Noise to Selectively Process Signals

Novel semiconductor neuron tunes noise to selectively process signals

In electronic devices, irregular fluctuations in signals are generally referred to as "noise." Because noise interferes with accurate information processing, conventional semiconductor technology has mainly treated it as ...

Artificial neuron harnesses semiconductor noise for brain-inspired computing

A semiconductor neuron turns electrical noise into a tunable computing resource, accurately processing signals from human motion to speech for low-power AI.

KAIST develops semiconductor neuron that harnesses noise to selectively

KAIST researchers have developed a semiconductor neuron that turns one of electronics’ most troublesome imperfections—electrical noise—into a controllable tool for processing information. Instead of suppressing random fluctuations generated inside a memory device, the team has learned how to tune them and use them to determine when an artificial neuron fires. The result is a programmable probabilistic neuron that can be adjusted to recognize sig…
