Whether or not speed/etc. would be better in the digital vs. analog design-space, it&amp;#x27;s an interesting thing to consider that neural nets can automatically account for the encoding-medium&amp;#x27;s variability. This perhaps makes neural solutions a good fit for low power analog media which otherwise aren&amp;#x27;t useful for classical computing.
