Mathematicians love a good puzzle. Even something as abstract as multiplying matrices (two-dimensional tables of numbers) can feel like a game when you try to find the most efficient way to do it.

The researchers’ device applies principles of neural networking to an optical framework. As a wave encoded with a PDE passes through the ONE’s series of components, its properties gradually shift and ...

Nearly all big science, machine learning, neural network, and machine vision applications employ algorithms that involve large matrix-matrix multiplication. But multiplying large matrices pushes the ...
