The need for optical implementations of neural networks is rooted in a number of obvious shortcomings of digital/electronic techniques. The author aims at giving at broad outline, in quite technical terms, of the state of the art in optical implementations. Special attention is paid to various types of logics, naturally attached to parallel data transportation by light. Algorithms built on these logics are presented through a number of examples the advantages, as well as disadvantages, of optical implementations are elucidated.","PeriodicalId":171485,"journal":{"name":"1998 Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications.

In the first approach, genetic algorithms are used for both template learning and optimization with respect to robustness. The evaluation of the fitness functions in the optimization step is computationally very expensive; a massively parallel supercomputer is used to achieve acceptable run times. As alternative approaches, a steepest-ascent method and an averaging approach are presented, the latter being computationally inexpensive. To overcome their respective drawbacks, these algorithms are combined into a hybrid approach which is shown to be efficient even for complex problems.","PeriodicalId":171485,"journal":{"name":"1998 Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications.

The problem has been treated previously by Kozek et al. (1994, 1995), where the CNN layer that represents the pressure had to perform on a much faster time-scale than the layers representing the velocity components. This is a drawback, especially when hardware realizations are considered. The method presented in this contribution avoids the use of a double time-scale CNN and requires fewer connections between the cells. The treatment of boundary conditions is discussed and the accuracy of the results is determined for two known analytical solutions.","PeriodicalId":171485,"journal":{"name":"1998 Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications.
