A physical neural network based on nanotechnology, including methods thereof.
Such
a physical neural network generally includes one or more neuron-like nodes, which
are formed from a plurality of interconnected nanoconnections formed from nanoconductors.
Each neuron-like node sums one or more input signals and generates one or more
output signals based on a threshold associated with the input signal. The physical
neural network also includes a connection network formed from the interconnected
nanoconnections, such that the interconnected nanoconnections used thereof by one
or more of the neuron-like nodes are strengthened or weakened according to an application
of an electric field.
