An analog implementation of a deep machinelearning system for ef cient feature extraction is presented in this work. It features online unsupervised trainability and non-volatile oating-gate analog storage. It utilizes a massively parallel recon gurable current-mode analog architecture to realize ef cient computation, and leverages algorithm-level feedback to provide robustness to circuit imper...

Start of the lab: 2006 Size of the lab: Currently ten—size has fluctuated between five and 20 Research field: Systems and synthetic biology In 2005, I was working in the bioinformatics group of Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a subsidiary of DuPont. The company was downsizing its research and development effort. At the same time, synthetic biology was emerging as a new discipline, and I wanted t...
