Abstract:
1. A method for training at least one connection network located between layers of a multi-layer physical neural network formed utilizing nanotechnology, said method comprising the steps of: forming a multi-layer physical neural network having a plurality of inputs and a plurality outputs thereof, wherein said multi-layer physical neural network comprises a plurality of layers therein, such that each layer thereof comprises at least one connection network, wherein said at least one connection network comprises a plurality of nanoconnections suspended in a solvent; initiating a training wave across said at least one connection network associated with an initial layer of said multi-layer physical neural network which propagates back through preceding connection networks of preceding layers of said multi-layer physical neural network by successively closing at least one switch associated with each layer of said multi-layer physical neural network; and automatically providing at least one feedback signal thereof to each preceding connection network associated with each preceding layer thereof to strengthen or weaken nanoconnections of each connection network of said multi-layer physical neural network.
