"L2ONN photonic computer lifelong memory consolidation and retrieval, sparse neuron connectivity and parallelly task-driven neurocognition... fast, and up to 14 times larger capacity than existing optical neural networks, with an order of magnitude higher energy efficiency than the representative electronic artificial neural networks... mitigates forgetting expertise gained from previously learned tasks when trained on something new... vision classification, voice recognition, medical diagnosis"
