I noticed you raised your hand. Can I help with a technical need? If you have a question for our presenter, please type it into the Q&A box. Thank you.

can you hear? I can't hear

I can hear the awards speakers

Immediately after the plenary session, all three speakers will be available to answer your questions. Please submit any questions for young-Kai Chen as you listen to his talk.

Neural network would require deep layers and lots of neurons to demonstrate advantage over conventional methods. Is it realistic to integrate all those photonic components in such a massive scale? As now, even a fully integrated transceiver would have a low yield.

Hello. Can you please copy/paste your question into the Q&A box? (It's the icon adjacent to the "Chat" function.) Thank you.

Thanks!

Q&A Coming Soon: After Nancy Shemwell’s talk, all three speakers will be available to answer your questions. Please use the Q&A Box to submit your questions. (It helps to note which speaker should respond to your question.)

are the plenary talks accessible at a later time?

Yes. The session is being recorded. It will be published on the OFC website by tomorrow morning. Just return to the online schedule, go the plenary, and you'll find the archive link.

Hi Christoph, I could not see your question in the Q&A box to Dr. Y.K. Chen.

Has Dr. Cai joined?

5 minute warning for the Q&A to start

Sorry, uploaded in two steps. Just in case here is the question again: There are a number of studies that show that in photonic neural networks the optics saves energy on the interconnects, but not on the actual processing once light generation and detection are included. Can you comment on this? Thank you

Hi. Confirming receipt of your question. Thank you for submitting it.

Martin Maier: What exactly is the Art part of your equation Networking = Art + Science + Engineering?

Hi, Martin. Can you please use the Q&A box and copy/paste your question there, please? (It is the icon adjacent to Chat.) Also, please note the question is for Yiqun Cai. Thank you.

Done. Thanks, Glenn. Martin

Thanks for the great talk today Yiqun!

Thank you. Really appreciate the opportunity.

Attendees -- Remember to post your questions for Young-Kai Chen in the Q&A box at the bottom of the screen.

ok

It seems I (a panelist) cannot post a question in the Q&A box. Please find my question to Nancy below:

Thank you, Nancy, for the great talk. As aging of farmers is a big problem in my country, your solution will be very important. In that regard, what is the timeline you assume to bring a short term solution as well as a long term solution?
