Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized the scientific community thanks to the advent of a robust computation workforce and Artificial Neural Neural Networks. However, the current implementation trends introduce a rapidly growing demand for computational power surpassing the rates and limitations of Moore's and Koomey's Laws, which implies an eventual efficiency barricade. To respond to these demands, bio-inspired techniques, known as 'neuro-morphic' systems, are proposed using physical devices. Of these systems, we focus on 'Reservoir Computing' and 'Coherent Ising Machines' in our works.Reservoir Computing, for instance, demonstrated its computation power such as the state-of-the-art performance of up to 1 million words per second using photonic hardware in 2017. We propose an automatic hyperparameter tuning algorithm for Reservoir Computing and give a theoretical study of its convergence. Moreover, we propose Reservoir Computing for early-stage Alzheimer's disease detection with a thorough assessment of the energy costs versus performance compromise. Finally, we confront the noisy image restoration problem by maximum a posteriori using an optoelectronic implementation of a Coherent Ising Machine.
