The experimental implementation of width-tunable neurons for training a binary neural network was successful, utilizing the angle-dependent magnetic behavior in an oxide thin film to mimic neurons with width-controllable activation window. This approach achieved a high accuracy of 97.4% when applied to training the MNIST dataset, demonstrating a viable strategy for training neural networks.
We report an experimental implementation of width-tunable neurons to train a binary neural network. The angle-dependent magnetic behavior in an oxide thin film highly mimics neurons with width-controllable activation window, providing an opportunity to train the activation functions and weights toward binary values. We apply this feature to train the MNIST dataset using a 684-800-10 fully connected network and achieve a high accuracy of 97.4%, thus opening an implementation strategy toward training neural networks.
