First, the science: Back in October 2022, a team of 16 experts from NTT Research Inc., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Nokia (NYSE: NOK) authored a paper titled “Delocalized Photonic Deep Learning on the Internet’s Edge” that appeared in Science. Why the technology it describes for edge applications wasn’t widely publicized until last week is a question that, put to NTT Research, went unanswered as of this writing. Anyway, the article outlined how newly designed smart optical transceivers can be deployed in sensors, smartphones, content delivery networks, and even aircraft to tackle the hefty processing and associated power consumption of deep neural networks (DNNs).
