    Abstract: A spiking neuromorphic network may be used to solve an optimization problem. The network may include primary neurons. The state of a primary neuron may be a value of a corresponding variable of the optimization problem. The primary neurons may update their states and change values of the variables. The network may also include a cost neuron that can compute, using a cost function, costs based on values of the variables sent to the cost neuron in the form of spikes from the primary neurons. The network may also include a minima neuron for determining the lowest cost and an integrator neuron for tracking how many computational steps the primary neurons have performed. The minima neuron or integrator neuron may determine whether convergence is achieved. After the convergence is achieved, the minima neuron or integrator neuron may instruct the primary neurons to stop computing new values of the variables.

    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for servicing a search query using a spiking neural network. In an embodiment, a spiking neural network receives an indication of a first context of the search query, wherein a set of nodes of the spiking neural network each correspond to a respective entry of a repository. One or more nodes of the set of nodes are each excited to provide a respective cyclical response based on the first context, wherein a first cyclical response is by a first node. Due at least in part to a coupling of the excited nodes, a perturbance signal, based on a second context of the search query, results in a change of the first resonance response relative to one or more other resonance responses. In another embodiment, data corresponding to the first node is selected, based on the change, as an at least partial result of the search query.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed toward an artificial neural network (ANN) partitioned into a substantially invariant portion and a variant portion. In embodiments, the substantially invariant portion includes a plurality of programmable heterogeneous heterostructures disposed in an optical substrate, programmed at least in part by their arrangement in the optical substrate to combine and scatter input optical data to provide output optical data for the substantially invariant portion of the ANN. A photonic pathway includes the substantially invariant portion and is coupleable to provide output optical data to a variant portion of the ANN and the variant portion is to perform training of the ANN based at least in part on the provided output optical data. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: A spiking neural network (SNN) includes artificial neurons interconnected by artificial synapses to model a particular network. A first neuron emits spikes to neighboring neurons to cause a wave of spikes to propagate through the SNN. Weights of a portion of the synapses are increased responsive to the wave of spikes based on a spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) rule. A second neuron emits spike to cause a chain of spikes to propagate to the first neuron on a path based on the increase in the synaptic weights. The path is determined to represent a shortest path in the particular network from a first network node represented by the second neuron to a second network node represented by the first neuron.
