Competing memristors for brain-inspired computing
Seung Ju Kim, Sang‐Bum Kim, Ho Won Jang
SJR Q1iScienceOA

The expeditious development of information technology has led to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). However, conventional computing systems are prone to volatility, high power consumption, and even delay between the processor and memory, which is referred to as the von Neumann bottleneck, in implementing AI. To address these issues, memristor-based neuromorphic computing systems inspired by the human brain have been proposed. A memristor can store numerous values by changing its resistanc

SJR Q1Advanced Intelligent SystemsOA

In complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)‐based von Neumann architectures, the intrinsic power and speed inefficiencies are worsened by the drastic increase in information with big data. With the potential to store numerous values in I – V pinched hysteresis, memristors (memory resistors) have emerged as alternatives to existing CMOS‐based computing systems. Herein, four types of memristive devices, namely, resistive switching, phase‐change, spintronics, and ferroelectric tunnel junction

Halide perovskites have been noted for their exotic properties such as fast ion migration, tunable composition, facile synthetic routes, and flexibility in addition to large light absorption coefficients, long carrier diffusion lengths, and high defect tolerance. These properties have made halide perovskites promising materials for memristors. Applications in the field of resistive switching memory devices and artificial synapses for neuromorphic computing are especially noteworthy. This Perspec

Abstract Organometallic and all‐inorganic halide perovskites (HPs) have recently emerged as promising candidate materials for resistive switching (RS) nonvolatile memory due to their current–voltage hysteresis caused by fast ion migration. Lead‐free and all‐inorganic HPs have been researched for non‐toxic and environmentally friendly RS memory devices. However, only HP‐based devices with electrochemically active top electrode (TE) exhibit ultra‐low operating voltages and high on/off ratio RS pro

Abstract Monitoring taste‐inducing ions and molecules continuously in liquids or solutions is of great considerable matter for the realization of the electronic tongue (E‐tongue). Particularly from the five major tastes, the highly selective, sensitive detection of Na + in real‐time is prioritized. Prioritization is due to the saltiness of food is the key ingredient in most meals. Nevertheless, existing Na + detecting devices have relatively low performances of selectivity, sensitivity, and lack

QIM 워터마킹 방식에서의 양자화 구간 간격 최적화에 관한 연구
김승주, 이윤호, 이광우, 양형규, 원동호

본 논문에서는 QIM(Quantization Index Modulation) 워터마킹 방식에서 워터마크 삽입 후의 이미지 품질과 워터마크의 강인성을 결정하는 양자화 구간 간격을 크게 하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 양자화 구간 간격을 크게 할 경우, 삽입 강도는 높아지나 워터마크 삽입 후의 이미지 품질이 저하되며, 작게 하는 경우는 그 반대가 된다. 그러나 원본 이미지와 워터마크 삽입 후의 예상 결과를 이용하여 양자화 구간 간격을 결정하면 삽입 강도와 워터마크 삽입 후의 이미지 품질을 모두 높일 수 있다.
