用压电材料实现物理存算一体，提升手写数字识别准确率

In this paper we extend our earlier work of (Rietman et al. 2022) presenting an application of physical Reservoir Computing (RC) to the classification of handwritten and spoken digits. We utilize an unpoled cube of Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) as a computational substrate to process these datasets. Our results demonstrate that the PZT reservoir achieves 89.0% accuracy on MNIST handwritten digits, representing a 2.4 percentage point improvement over logistic regression baselines applied to the same preprocessed data. However, for the AudioMNIST spoken digits dataset, the reservoir system (88.2% accuracy) performs equivalently to baseline methods (88.1% accuracy), suggesting that reservoir computing provides the greatest benefits for classification tasks of intermediate difficulty where linear methods underperform but the problem remains learnable. PZT is a well-known material already used in semiconductor applications, presenting a low-power computational substrate that can be integrated with digital algorithms. Our findings indicate that physical reservoirs excel when the task difficulty exceeds the capability of simple linear classifiers but remains within the computational capacity of the reservoir dynamics.
