Coupled nano-oscillators capable of recognizing vowels according to a learning rule
Physicists have succeeded in fabricating a network of four coupled nano-oscillators capable of recognizing spoken vowels by tuning their frequencies according to an automatic rule of real-time learning. They show that high experimental recognition rates are a result of …
