Local computation and learning

• Nervous tissue uses synapses for local computation and for learning

  • Locally computed updates (local learning)
  • Local, single-device computation
  • Dense, compact, low power

• Our goal: Single-transistor devices that mimic biology

  • Locally computed weight updates
    • Nonvolatile memory
    • Bidirectional updates
  • Single transistor multiplies
  • Dense, compact, low power
