Neuromorphic Photonics - Optical Computing: emerging approaches and applications
Fri, 28.04.2023, EPFL Lausanne
We invite to a workshop on
EPFL and Swissphotonics are organizing a two-day workshop on Neuromorphic Photonics to take place at EPFL in Lausanne Switzerland on 27-28.4.2023. Usually these workshops attract an audience of about 40-60 people with a strong industry participation and are a good occasion for stimulating discussions. Whereas the first day deals with Complex Lasers, the second day is devoted to Optical Computing.
Day 2 - Optical Computing: emerging approaches and applications
Research in photonic computing has accelerated in the last couple of years and is now increasingly considered for machine learning thanks to its intrinsic scalability, speed, and low power consumption. Several companies have been founded in the last couple of years to harness the potential of optics for computing. Algorithms running on such new hardware have the potential to address the growing demand for machine learning and artificial intelligence in areas such as medical diagnosis, telecommunications, and high-performance and scientific computing. The purpose of Day two of this two-day workshop is to bring the most up to date development in this exciting field, from both leading Academics and Companies. It is organized by Prof. Christophe Moser (EPFL).
Cost
The participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory, separately for the two days!
