Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Machine learning, however popular and accessible, is computationally intensive and highly power-consuming, prompting interest in alternative physical implementations of learning tasks. We introduce a training scheme for physical systems that minimize power dissipation in which only boundary parameters (inputs and outputs) are externally controlled. Using this scheme, these Boundary-Enabled Adaptive State Tuning Systems (BEASTS) learn by exploiting local physical rules. Our scheme, BEASTAL (BEAST-Adaline), is the closest analog of the Adaline (ADAptive LInear NEuron) algorithm for such systems. We demonstrate this autonomous learning in silico for regression and classification tasks. Our approach advances previous physical learning schemes by using intuitive, local evolution rules without requiring large-scale memory or complex internal architectures. BEASTAL can be applied to any physical system with a linear input-output map, achieving best performance when the local evolution rule is nonlinear.
