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

Optical approaches have made great strides towards the goal of high-speed, energy-efficient computing necessary for modern deep learning and AI applications. Read-in and read-out of data, however, limit the overall performance of existing approaches. This study introduces a multilayer optoelectronic computing framework that alternates between optical and optoelectronic layers to implement matrix-vector multiplications and rectified linear functions, respectively. Our framework is designed for real-time, parallelized operations, leveraging 2D arrays of LEDs and photodetectors connected via independent analog electronics. We experimentally demonstrate this approach using a system with a three-layer network with two hidden layers and operate it to recognize images from the MNIST database with a recognition accuracy of 92% and classify classes from a nonlinear spiral data with 86% accuracy. By implementing multiple layers of a deep neural network simultaneously, our approach significantly reduces the number of read-ins and read-outs required and paves the way for scalable optical accelerators requiring ultra low energy.
