Memristor-Based Edge Detection for Spike Encoded Pixels.

ABSTRACT: Memristors have many uses in machine learning and neuromorphic hardware. From memory elements in dot product engines to replicating both synapse and neuron wall behaviors, the memristor has proved a versatile component. Here we demonstrate an analog mode of operation observed in our silicon oxide memristors and apply this to the problem of edge detection. We demonstrate how a potential divider exploiting this analog behavior can prove a scalable solution to edge detection. We confirm its behavior experimentally and simulate its performance on a standard testbench. We show good performance comparable to existing memristor based work with a benchmark score of 0.465 on the BSDS500 dataset, while simultaneously maintaining a lower component count.

MSPAN: A Memristive Spike-Based Computing Engine With Adaptive Neuron for Edge Arrhythmia Detection.

Project description:In this work, a memristive spike-based computing in memory (CIM) system with adaptive neuron (MSPAN) is proposed to realize energy-efficient remote arrhythmia detection with high accuracy in edge devices by software and hardware co-design. A multi-layer deep integrative spiking neural network (DiSNN) is first designed with an accuracy of 93.6% in 4-class ECG classification tasks. Then a memristor-based CIM architecture and the corresponding mapping method are proposed to deploy the DiSNN. By evaluation, the overall system achieves an accuracy of over 92.25% on the MIT-BIH dataset while the area is 3.438 mm2 and the power consumption is 0.178 μJ per heartbeat at a clock frequency of 500 MHz. These results reveal that the proposed MSPAN system is promising for arrhythmia detection in edge devices.

Virus based Full Colour Pixels using a Microheater.

Project description:Mimicking natural structures has been received considerable attentions, and there have been a few practical advances. Tremendous efforts based on a self-assembly technique have been contributed to the development of the novel photonic structures which are mimicking nature's inventions. We emulate the photonic structures from an origin of colour generation of mammalian skins and avian skin/feathers using M13 phage. The structures can be generated a full range of RGB colours that can be sensitively switched by temperature and substrate materials. Consequently, we developed an M13 phage-based temperature-dependent actively controllable colour pixels platform on a microheater chip. Given the simplicity of the fabrication process, the low voltage requirements and cycling stability, the virus colour pixels enable us to substitute for conventional colour pixels for the development of various implantable, wearable and flexible devices in future.

Optical edge detection based on high-efficiency dielectric metasurface.

Project description:Optical edge detection is a useful method for characterizing boundaries, which is also in the forefront of image processing for object detection. As the field of metamaterials and metasurface is growing fast in an effort to miniaturize optical devices at unprecedented scales, experimental realization of optical edge detection with metamaterials remains a challenge and lags behind theoretical proposals. Here, we propose a mechanism of edge detection based on a Pancharatnam-Berry-phase metasurface. We experimentally demonstrated broadband edge detection using designed dielectric metasurfaces with high optical efficiency. The metasurfaces were fabricated by scanning a focused laser beam inside glass substrate and can be easily integrated with traditional optical components. The proposed edge-detection mechanism may find important applications in image processing, high-contrast microscopy, and real-time object detection on compact optical platforms such as mobile phones and smart cameras.

Upconversion Nanoparticles-Encoded Hydrogel Microbeads-Based Multiplexed Protein Detection.

Project description:Fluorescently encoded microbeads are in demand for multiplexed applications in different fields. Compared to organic dye-based commercially available Luminex's xMAP technology, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are better alternatives due to their large anti-Stokes shift, photostability, nil background, and single wavelength excitation. Here, we developed a new multiplexed detection system using UCNPs for encoding poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) microbeads as well as for labeling reporter antibody. However, to prepare UCNPs-encoded microbeads, currently used swelling-based encapsulation leads to non-uniformity, which is undesirable for fluorescence-based multiplexing. Hence, we utilized droplet microfluidics to obtain encoded microbeads of uniform size, shape, and UCNPs distribution inside. Additionally, PEGDA microbeads lack functionality for probe antibodies conjugation on their surface. Methods to functionalize the surface of PEGDA microbeads (acrylic acid incorporation, polydopamine coating) reported thus far quench the fluorescence of UCNPs. Here, PEGDA microbeads surface was coated with silica followed by carboxyl modification without compromising the fluorescence intensity of UCNPs. In this study, droplet microfluidics-assisted UCNPs-encoded microbeads of uniform shape, size, and fluorescence were prepared. Multiple color codes were generated by mixing UCNPs emitting red and green colors at different ratios prior to encapsulation. UCNPs emitting blue color were used to label the reporter antibody. Probe antibodies were covalently immobilized on red UCNPs-encoded microbeads for specific capture of human serum albumin (HSA) as a model protein. The system was also demonstrated for multiplexed detection of both human C-reactive protein (hCRP) and HSA protein by immobilizing anti-hCRP antibodies on green UCNPs.

Equilibrium Propagation for Memristor-Based Recurrent Neural Networks.

Project description:Among the recent innovative technologies, memristor (memory-resistor) has attracted researchers attention as a fundamental computation element. It has been experimentally shown that memristive elements can emulate synaptic dynamics and are even capable of supporting spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP), an important adaptation rule that is gaining particular interest because of its simplicity and biological plausibility. The overall goal of this work is to provide a novel (theoretical) analog computing platform based on memristor devices and recurrent neural networks that exploits the memristor device physics to implement two variations of the backpropagation algorithm: recurrent backpropagation and equilibrium propagation. In the first learning technique, the use of memristor-based synaptic weights permits to propagate the error signals in the network by means of the nonlinear dynamics via an analog side network. This makes the processing non-digital and different from the current procedures. However, the necessity of a side analog network for the propagation of error derivatives makes this technique still highly biologically implausible. In order to solve this limitation, it is therefore proposed an alternative solution to the use of a side network by introducing a learning technique used for energy-based models: equilibrium propagation. Experimental results show that both approaches significantly outperform conventional architectures used for pattern reconstruction. Furthermore, due to the high suitability for VLSI implementation of the equilibrium propagation learning rule, additional results on the classification of the MNIST dataset are here reported.

Sub-nanosecond memristor based on ferroelectric tunnel junction.

Project description:Next-generation non-volatile memories with ultrafast speed, low power consumption, and high density are highly desired in the era of big data. Here, we report a high performance memristor based on a Ag/BaTiO3/Nb:SrTiO3 ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ) with the fastest operation speed (600?ps) and the highest number of states (32 states or 5 bits) per cell among the reported FTJs. The sub-nanosecond resistive switching maintains up to 358?K, and the write current density is as low as 4?×?103?A?cm-2. The functionality of spike-timing-dependent plasticity served as a solid synaptic device is also obtained with ultrafast operation. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a Nb:SrTiO3 electrode with a higher carrier concentration and a metal electrode with lower work function tend to improve the operation speed. These results may throw light on the way for overcoming the storage performance gap between different levels of the memory hierarchy and developing ultrafast neuromorphic computing systems.

A physical memristor based Muthuswamy-Chua-Ginoux system.

Project description:In 1976, Leon Chua showed that a thermistor can be modeled as a memristive device. Starting from this statement we designed a circuit that has four circuit elements: a linear passive inductor, a linear passive capacitor, a nonlinear resistor and a thermistor, that is, a nonlinear "locally active" memristor. Thus, the purpose of this work was to use a physical memristor, the thermistor, in a Muthuswamy-Chua chaotic system (circuit) instead of memristor emulators. Such circuit has been modeled by a new three-dimensional autonomous dynamical system exhibiting very particular properties such as the transition from torus breakdown to chaos. Then, mathematical analysis and detailed numerical investigations have enabled to establish that such a transition corresponds to the so-called route to Shilnikov spiral chaos but gives rise to a "double spiral attractor".

Emergent solution based IGZO memristor towards neuromorphic applications.

Project description:Solution-based memristors are emergent devices, due to their potential in electrical performance for neuromorphic computing combined with simple and cheap fabrication processes. However, to achieve practical application in crossbar design tens to hundreds of uniform memristors are required. Regarding this, the production step optimization should be considered as the main objective to achieve high performance devices. In this work, solution-based indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) memristor devices are produced using a combustion synthesis process. The performance of the device is optimized by using different annealing temperatures and active layer thicknesses to reach a higher reproducibility and stability. All IGZO memristors show a low operating voltage, good endurance, and retention up to 105 s under air conditions. The optimized devices can be programmed in a multi-level cell operation mode, with 8 different resistive states. Also, preliminary results reveal synaptic behavior by replicating the plasticity of a synaptic junction through potentiation and depression; this is a significant step towards low-cost processes and large-scale compatibility of neuromorphic computing systems.

Low-Voltage Oscillatory Neurons for Memristor-Based Neuromorphic Systems.

Project description:Neuromorphic systems consisting of artificial neurons and synapses can process complex information with high efficiency to overcome the bottleneck of von Neumann architecture. Artificial neurons are essentially required to possess functions such as leaky integrate-and-fire and output spike. However, previous reported artificial neurons typically have high operation voltage and large leakage current, leading to significant power consumption, which is contrary to the energy-efficient biological model. Here, an oscillatory neuron based on Ag filamentary threshold switching memristor (TS) that has a low operation voltage (<0.6 V) with ultralow power consumption (<1.8 µW) is presented. It can trigger neuronal functions, including leaky integrate-and-fire and threshold-driven spiking output, with high endurance (>108 cycles). Being connected to an external resistor or a resistive switching memristor (RS) as synaptic weight, the TS clearly demonstrates self-oscillation behavior once the input pulse voltage exceeds the threshold voltage. Meanwhile, the oscillation frequency is proportional to the input pulse voltage and the conductance of RS synapse, which can be used to integrate the weighted sum current. As an energy-efficient memristor-based spiking neural network, this combination of TS oscillatory neuron with RS synapse is further evaluated for image recognition achieving an accuracy of 79.2 ± 2.4% for CIFAR-10 subset.

Spontaneous sparse learning for PCM-based memristor neural networks.

Project description:Neural networks trained by backpropagation have achieved tremendous successes on numerous intelligent tasks. However, naïve gradient-based training and updating methods on memristors impede applications due to intrinsic material properties. Here, we built a 39 nm 1 Gb phase change memory (PCM) memristor array and quantified the unique resistance drift effect. On this basis, spontaneous sparse learning (SSL) scheme that leverages the resistance drift to improve PCM-based memristor network training is developed. During training, SSL regards the drift effect as spontaneous consistency-based distillation process that reinforces the array weights at the high-resistance state continuously unless the gradient-based method switches them to low resistance. Experiments show that the SSL not only helps the convergence of network with better performance and sparsity controllability without additional computation in handwritten digit classification. This work promotes the learning algorithms with the intrinsic properties of memristor devices, opening a new direction for development of neuromorphic computing chips.
