r/MachineLearning - [P] neuroptica - a nanophotonic neural network simulation platform

Nanophotonic neural networks are an exciting emerging sub-field in physics and machine learning, promising low-energy, ultra high-throughput machine learning systems implemented purely optically. Our lab recently published a paper describing a method for physically-implementable optical activation functions for use in nanophotonic NN's, and we've open-sourced the simulator we developed as part of our research.
