Task-Adaptive Neuromorphic Computing Using Reconfigurable Organic Neuristors with Tunable Plasticity and Logic-in-Memory Operations.

The brain's function can be dynamically reconfigured through a unified neuron-synapse architecture, enabling task-adaptive network-level topology for energy-efficient learning and inferencing. Here, we demonstrate an organic neuristor utilizing a ferroelectric-electrolyte dielectric interface. This neuristor enables tunable short- to long-term plasticity and reconfigurable logic-in-memory functions by controlling the interfacial interaction between electrolyte ions and ferroelectric dipoles. Notably, the short-term plasticity of the organic neuristor allows for power-efficient reservoir computing in edge-computing scenarios, exhibiting impressive recognition accuracy, including images (90.6%) and acoustic signals (97.7%). For high-performance computing tasks, the neuristor based on long-term plasticity and logic-in-memory operations can construct all of the hardware circuits of a binarized neural network (BNN) within a unified framework. The BNN demonstrates excellent noise tolerance, achieving high recognition accuracies of 99.2% and 86.4% on the MNIST and CIFAR-10 data sets, respectively. Consequently, our research sheds light on the development of power-efficient artificial intelligence systems.
