1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Analog in-memory computing is a promising future technology for efficiently accelerating deep learning networks. While using in-memory computing to accelerate the inference phase has been studied extensively, accelerating the training phase has received less attention, despite its arguably much larger compute demand to accelerate. While some analog in-memory training algorithms have been suggested, they either invoke significant amount of auxiliary digital compute-accumulating the gradient in digital floating point precision, limiting the potential speed-up-or suffer from the need for near perfectly programming reference conductance values to establish an algorithmic zero point. Here, we propose two improved algorithms for in-memory training, that retain the same fast runtime complexity while resolving the requirement of a precise zero point. We further investigate the limits of the algorithms in terms of conductance noise, symmetry, retention, and endurance which narrow down possible device material choices adequate for fast and robust in-memory deep neural network training.
