Towards a complete photonic integrated platform for mid-IR spectroscopy
The development of compact systems operating in the mid-infrared wavelength range is of high interest for spectroscopic and sensing applications. Interestingly, graded index Silicon Germanium (SiGe) photonic circuits possessed unique properties for the development of a complete photonic integrated platform …

Bayesian continual learning and forgetting in neural networks
Biological synapses effortlessly balance memory retention and flexibility, yet artificial neural networks still struggle with the extremes of catastrophic forgetting and catastrophic remembering. Here, we introduce Metaplasticity from Synaptic Uncertainty (MESU), a Bayesian update rule that scales each parameter’s …
