    Abstract: A memory device includes a semiconductor device on a wafer. The semiconductor device includes a gate structure, a first source/drain region, and a second source/drain region. The gate structure is on the first side of the wafer. The first source/drain region is also on the first side of the wafer, and contacts a first end of the gate structure. The second source/drain region is on the second side of the wafer and extends into the first side to contact a second end of the gate structure. The memory device further includes a memory storage element on the second side of the wafer. The memory storage element contacts the second source/drain region.

    Abstract: A technique relates to biasing, using a control system, a crossbar array of resistive processing units (RPUs) under a midrange condition, the midrange condition causing resistances of the RPUs to result in a random output of low values and high values in about equal proportions. The control system reinforces the low values and the high values of the random output by setting the resistances of the RPUs to a state that forces the low values and the high values having resulted from the midrange condition. Reinforcing the low values and the high values makes the random output permanent even when the crossbar array of the RPUs is not biased under the midrange condition. The control system records a sequence of the low values and the high values of the random output responsive to reinforcing the low values and the high values of the random output.

    Abstract: A received image (1301) is divided into patches, which may have different sizes. A cluster-direction sequence (see fig. 6) is generated (1302) for each of a plurality of saccadic paths along the patches, the paths being given by a policy matrix (see figs. 8 & 9). The sequences are used to identify an object in the image. Path sequence generation using the matrix may comprise assigning (1303) a likelihood (which may be weighted (1304) using a total frequency of occurrence of the sequence in the matrix for a given class) that the image belongs to each class defined in the matrix, and identifying (1305) the object using a likelihood average over the sequences. Image context, e.g. previous observations or goal, may be used. The patches may be clustered into groups, e.g. using k-means clustering algorithm (see figs. 4&5). Specific salient features in an image may thus be identified, leading to a classification of the image by judging whether the salient features can identify a unique class of object (e.g. 9 MNIST digits, or image classes in ImageNet, e.g. cats, planes etc.) in the image with high probability. Classification may occur through progressive exclusion of other classes.

    Abstract: A method of operating an image detection device includes receiving an image, dividing the image into a plurality of patches, grouping ones of the plurality of patches, generating a set of saccadic paths through the plurality of patches of the image, generating a cluster-direction sequence for each saccadic path, generating a policy function for identifying an object in a new image using a combination of the cluster-direction sequences, and operating the image detection device using the policy function to identify an object in the new image.
