چکیده
An analog MOS circuit is proposed for implementing a Lotka–Volterra (LV) competitive neural network which produces winners-shareall solutions. The solutions give multiple winners receiving large inputs and are particularly useful for selecting a set of inputs through ‘‘decision by majority’’. We show that the LV network can easily be implemented using subthreshold MOS transistors. Results of extensive circuit simulations prove that the proposed circuit does exhibit a reliable selection compared with winner-take-all circuits, in the possible presence of device mismatches. These results pave a way to future implementation on a real device. 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Constrained neural approaches to quadratic assignment problems
In this paper, we discuss analog neural approaches to the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). These approaches employ a hard constraints scheme to restrict the domain space, and are able to obtain much improved solutions over conventional neural approaches. Since only a few strong heuristics for QAP have been known to date, our approaches are good alternatives, capable of obtaining fairly good ...
متن کاملExplanation of the "virtual input" phenomenon
We write this letter to comment on the "virtual input" phenomenon reported by Thaler (Neural Networks, 8(1) (1995) 55-65). The author attributed the phenomenon to the network's ability to perform pattern classification and completion, and reported that pruning probability affects the number of virtual inputs observed. Our independent study of Thaler's results, however, reveals a simpler explana...
متن کاملParallel and robust skeletonization built on self-organizing elements
A massively parallel neural architecture is suggested for the approximate computation of the skeleton of a planar shape. Numerical examples demonstrate the robustness of the method. The architecture is constructed from self-organizing elements that allow the extension of the concept of skeletonization to areas remote to image processing.
متن کاملModel selection in neural networks
In this article, we examine how model selection in neural networks can be guided by statistical procedures such as hypothesis tests, information criteria and cross validation. The application of these methods in neural network models is discussed, paying attention especially to the identification problems encountered. We then propose five specification strategies based on different statistical ...
متن کاملInformation storage capacity of incompletely connected associative memories
In this paper, the memory capacity of incompletely connected associative memories is investigated. First, the capacity is derived for memories with fixed parameters. Optimization of the parameters yields a maximum capacity between 0.53 and 0.69 for hetero-association and half of it for autoassociation improving previously reported results. The maximum capacity grows with increasing connectivity...
