Networks of superconducting optoelectronic neurons are investigated for their near-term technological potential and long-term physical limitations. Networks with short average path length, high clustering coefficient, and power-law degree distribution are

A superconducting optoelectronic neuron will produce a small current pulse upon reaching threshold. We present an amplifier chain which converts this small current pulse to a voltage pulse sufficient to produce light from a semiconductor diode. This light

The design of neural hardware is informed by the prominence of differentiated processing and information integration in cognitive systems. The central role of communication leads to the principal assumption of the hardware platform: signals between neurons

Circuits using superconducting single-photon detectors and Josephson junctions to perform signal reception, synaptic weighting, and integration are investigated. The circuits convert photon-detection events into flux quanta, the number of which is

Latent fingerprints are one of the most crucial sources of evidence in forensic investigations. As such, devel- opment of automatic latent fingerprint recognition systems to quickly and accurately identify the suspects is one of the most pressing problems
The report describes and presents the results for text detection and recognition (TRAIT) evaluation in support of forensic investigations of digital media. These im- ages are of interest to NISTs partner law enforcement agencies that seek to employ text

The emerging field of materials informatics has the potential to greatly reduce time-to-market and development costs for new materials. The success of such efforts hinges on access to large, high-quality databases of material properties. However, many such

In 2016, NIST conducted the most recent in an ongoing series of speaker recognition evaluations (SRE) to foster research in robust text-independent speaker recognition, as well as measure performance of the current state-of-the-art systems, targeting in
