Do Deep Learning Models Mimic Human Personality Traits? – An Empirical Study

Two key aspects of artificial intelligence are its ability to make decisions and attempt to mimic humans. Decision-making in humans is, however not straightforward and depends significantly on the person’s mental state, personal biases, and personality. In this study, we attempt to empirically understand if deep learning image classifiers also exhibit such inherent biases or if they act neutrally in any given situation. To this end, we perform three experiments – left-brain right-brain test, psychological images test, and Rorschach’s inkblot test on eight different stat-of-the-art deep learning classifiers. A detailed analysis of the SoftMax probability scores is done rather than an analysis on measures like accuracy and F1. We believe that understanding the inherent biases would help future researchers take necessary actions while building image classification models

Photon-Pair Generation in a 45 nm CMOS Microring Cavity: Impact of Spontaneous Raman Scattering

We characterize the impact of spontaneous Raman scattering (SRS) on photon-pair generation via spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in a CMOS microring cavity by analyzing the single counts in each channel to separate out the contribution of SRS from SFWM. We find the contribution of SRS to the photon counts to be low compared to that from SFWM.Accepted manuscrip

Electronic-photonic quantum systems-on-chip

We present progress towards realizing electronic-photonic quantum systems on-chip; particularly, entangled photon-pair sources, placing them in the context of previous work, and outlining our vision for mass-producible quantum networking blocks.Accepted manuscrip

Tunable source of quantum-correlated photons with integrated pump rejection in a silicon CMOS platform

A wavelength-tunable, silicon photon-pair source based on spontaneous four-wave mixing, integrated with a pump rejection filter in a single, flip-chip packaged CMOS chip, is demonstrated with a coincidence-to-accidentals ratio of 9.1 with no off-chip pump filtering.Accepted manuscrip
