Many applications of deep learning for image generation use perceptual losses for either training or fine-tuning of the generator networks. The use of perceptual loss however incurs repeated forward-backward passes in a large image…

Photonic reservoir computing is a promising candidate for low-energy computing at high bandwidths. Despite recent successes, there are bounds to what one can achieve simply by making photonic reservoirs larger. Therefore, a switch from…
