Specifically, Gumbel-Softmax with a novel complex-domain regularization method is employed to enable differentiable one-to-one mapping from discrete device parameters into the forward function of DONNs, where the physical parameters in DONNs can be trained by simply minimizing the loss function of the ML task.
