A VLSI Hamming Artificial Neural Network with k-Winner-Take-All and k-Loser-Take-All Capability
A novel circuit-level Hamming artificial neural network architecture based on the principle of analog chargebased computation of the neural function is proposed. kwinner-take-all and k-loser-take-all operations are performed in the time-domain, allowing for fast and compact realization of complex functions. The VLSI realization of a twodimensional array arrangement of the Hamming network is pre...
متن کاملSingle-electron winner-take-all network
A winner-take-all (WTA) single-electron neuron is developed for the first time. This new single-electron circuit is proposed in order to implement a WTA neural network with lateral inhibition architecture. An expression for the neuron’s activation function is presented. Furthermore, a dot pattern recognition task is successfully performed by the implemented network considering effects such as o...
متن کاملWinner-Take-All Autoencoders
In this paper, we propose a winner-take-all method for learning hierarchical sparse representations in an unsupervised fashion. We first introduce fully-connected winner-take-all autoencoders which use mini-batch statistics to directly enforce a lifetime sparsity in the activations of the hidden units. We then propose the convolutional winner-take-all autoencoder which combines the benefits of ...
متن کاملA Normalizing aVLSI Network with Controllable Winner-Take-All Properties
We describe an aVLSI network consisting of a group of excitatory neurons and a global inhibitory neuron. The output of the inhibitory neuron is normalized with respect to the input strengths in a manner that is useful in any system where we wish the output signal to code only the strength of the inputs, and not be dependent on the number of active inputs. The circuitry in each neuron is equival...
متن کاملSpiking Inputs to a Winner-take-all Network
Recurrent networks that perform a winner-take-all computation have been studied extensively. Although some of these studies include spiking networks, they consider only analog input rates. We present results of this winner-take-all computation on a network of integrate-and-fire neurons which receives spike trains as inputs. We show how we can configure the connectivity in the network so that th...
