Tampere University announces a new Early Stage Researcher position on the topic of On-chip Photonic Deep Neural Network Components for Fast Image Processing.
Objectives: Photonic implementations of deep neural networks with the high-speed linear operation and low-loss high-bandwidth connectivity within the network. Develop components for an integrated end-to-end photonic deep neural network (PDNN) that performs sub-nanosecond image processing tasks. Develop the system optically performed linear computation and non-linear activation function. Develop a PDNN architecture that can be scaled to networks with a large number of layers, and a large number of inputs and demonstrate its application to plenoptic image processing tasks.
Expected Results: Direct, clock-less processing of optical data that eliminates analogue-to-digital conversion and the requirement for a large memory module, allowing faster and more energy-efficient neural networks for the next generations of plenoptic imaging systems.
