Uncertainty plays a key role in real-time machine learning. As significant shift from standard deep networks, which does not consider any uncertainty formulation during its training or inference, Bayesian networks are being currently investigated where the network is envisaged as an ensemble of plausible models learnt by Bayes' response to uncertainties sensory data. each synaptic weight sample drawn probability distribution with mean and variance. This letter elaborates on hardware design...

Brain-inspired cognitive computing has so far followed two major approaches - one uses multi-layered artificial neural networks (ANNs) to perform pattern-recognition-related tasks, whereas the other spiking (SNNs) emulate biological neurons in an attempt be as efficient and fault-tolerant brain. While there been considerable progress former area due a combination of effective training algorithms acceleration platforms, latter is still its infancy lack both. SNNs have distinct advantage over...

We report spin-to-charge and charge-to-spin conversion at room temperature in heterostructure devices that interface an archetypal Dirac semimetal, Cd3As2, with a metallic ferromagnet, Ni0.80Fe0.20 (permalloy). The spin-charge interconversion is detected by both spin torque ferromagnetic resonance driven pumping. Analysis of the symmetric anti-symmetric components mixing voltage frequency power dependence pumping signal show behavior these processes consistent previously reported mechanisms...

Probabilistic machine learning enabled by the Bayesian formulation has recently gained significant attention in domain of automated reasoning and decision-making. While impressive strides have been made to scale up performance deep neural networks, they primarily standalone software efforts without any regard underlying hardware implementation. In this article, we propose an "all-spin" network where spintronic provides a better match computing models. To best our knowledge, is first...

Despite the promise of superior efficiency and scalability, real‐world deployment emerging nanoelectronic platforms for brain‐inspired computing have been limited thus far, primarily because inter‐device variations intrinsic non‐idealities. In this work, mitigation these issues is demonstrated by performing learning directly on practical devices through a hardware‐in‐loop approach, utilizing stochastic neurons based heavy metal/ferromagnetic spin–orbit torque heterostructures.

Emulating various facets of computing principles the brain can potentially lead to development neuro-computers that are able exhibit brain-like cognitive capabilities. In this Letter, we propose a magnetoelectronic neuron utilizes noise as resource and is encode information over time through independent control external voltage signals. We extensively characterize device operation using simulations demonstrate its suitability for neuromorphic platforms performing temporal encoding.

Devices based on the unique phase transitions of change materials (PCMs) like GeTe and Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) require low-resistance thermally stable Ohmic contacts. This work reviews literature electrical contacts to GeTe, GST, GeCu2Te3 (GCuT), Ge2Cr2Te6 (GCrT), especially due greater number studies. We briefly review how method used measure contact resistance (Rc) specific (ρc) can influence values extracted, since measurements low resistances are susceptible artifacts, we include a direct...
