DOIs:10.2015/IJIRMF/202511008     |     Paper ID: IJIRMF202511008This study explores the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in modelling low dimensional hybrid perovskite based memristor devices, crucial for efficient deep learning in the era of AI, big data, cloud computing and IoT. The research involves training and validating the ANN architecture using simulated memristor (resistance vs. pulses) data with a linear drift model. The aim is to identify the optimal ANN configuration by adjusting the proportion of testing data and hidden neurons while optimizing with varying validation data percentages. Given the need for low power consumption and limited chip space in deep learning models, particularly in areas like object detection, natural language processing, and pattern recognition, the study proposes memristor-based object detection on the MNIST dataset. Remarkably, this approach achieves an impressive accuracy of ~ 94%, implemented using the PyTorch module in Python. The study emphasizes the difficulties encountered by computing systems relying on von Neumann architecture, attributed to the constraints in size posed by complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors in the rapidly advancing fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
