Supervised Learning in Physical Networks: From Machine Learning to Learning Machines

Materials and machines are often designed with particular goals in mind, so that they exhibit desired responses to given forces or constraints. Here we explore an alternative approach, namely physical coupled learning. In this paradigm, the system is not initially designed to accomplish a task, but...

Supervised Learning in Physical Networks: From Machine Learning to Learning Machines
description Materials and machines are often designed with particular goals in mind, so that they exhibit desired responses to given forces or constraints. Here we explore an alternative approach, namely physical coupled learning. In this paradigm, the system is not initially designed to accomplish a task, but physically adapts to applied forces to develop the ability to perform the task. Crucially, we require coupled learning to be facilitated by physically plausible learning rules, meaning that learning requires only local responses and no explicit information about the desired functionality. We show that such local learning rules can be derived for any physical network, whether in equilibrium or in steady state, with specific focus on two particular systems, namely disordered flow networks and elastic networks.
