K-Winners-Take-All Computation with Neural Oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial spike-based computation, inspired by models of computation in the central nervous system, may present significant performance advantages over traditional methods for specific types of large scale problems. This paper describes very simple network architectures for k-winners-take-all and soft-winner-take-all computation using neural oscillators. Fast convergence is achieved from arbitrary initial conditions, which makes the networks particularly suitable to track time-varying inputs.

Two k-winners-take-all networks with discontinuous activation functions
This paper presents two k-winners-take-all (k-WTA) networks with discontinuous activation functions. The k-WTA operation is first converted equivalently into linear and quadratic programming problems. Then two k-winners-take-all networks are designed based on the linear and quadratic programming formulations. The networks are theoretically guaranteed to be capable of performing the k-WTA operat...
متن کاملA Simple Neural Network Exhibiting Selective Activation of Neuronal Ensemblies: From Winner-Take-All to Winners-Share-All
A neuroecological equation of the Lotka-Volterra type for mean firing rate is derived from the conventional membrane dynamics of a neural network with lateral inhibition and self-inhibition. Neural selection mechanisms employed by the competitive neural network receiving external inputs are studied with analytic and numerical calculations. A remarkable findings is that the strength of lateral i...

Artificial spike-based computation, inspired by models of computations in the central nervous system, may present significant performance advantages over traditional methods for specific types of large scale problems. In this paper, we study new models for two common instances of such computation, winner-take-all and coincidence detection. In both cases, very fast convergence is achieved indepe...
متن کاملAnalog integrated circuits for the Lotka-Volterra competitive neural networks with a winners-share-all solution
A subthreshold MOS integrated circuit (IC) is designed and fabricated for implementing a competitive neural network of the Lotka-Volterra (LV) type which is derived from conventional membrane dynamics of neurons and is used for the selection of external inputs. The steady-state solutions to the LV equation can be classified into three types, each of which represents qualitatively different sele...
متن کاملA New Recurrent Neural Network for Solving Convex Quadratic Programming Problems With an Application to the k -Winners-Take-All Problem
In this paper, a new recurrent neural network is proposed for solving convex quadratic programming (QP) problems. Compared with existing neural networks, the proposed one features global convergence property under weak conditions, low structural complexity, and no calculation of matrix inverse. It serves as a competitive alternative in the neural network family for solving linear or quadratic p...
