Designing efficient Bayesian neural networks remains a challenge. Here, the authors use the cycle variation in the programming of the 2D memtransistors to achieve Gaussian random number generator-based synapses, and combine it with the complementary 2D memtransistors-based tanh function to implement a Bayesian neural network.
