Designing reliable and energy-efficient memristor-based artificial neural networks remains a challenge. Here, the authors demonstrate a technology-agnostic approach, committee machines, which increases the inference accuracy of memristive neural networks that suffer from device variability, faulty devices, random telegraph noise and line resistance.
