Noise-resilient designs and analysis for optical neural networks by Gianluca Kosmella, Ripalta Stabile, Jaron Sanders

“…The results indicate that adding just a few components and/or adding them only in the first (few) layers in the manner of either design can already be expected to increase the accuracy of ONNs considerably. To illustrate the effect we point to a specific simulation of a LeNet implementation, in which adding one copy of the layers components in each layer reduces the mean-squared error (MSE) by 59.1% for the tree-like design and by 51.5% for the accordion-like design. …”
