  • Neural network system having dynamically reconfigurable connections
    Patent number: 5533169
    Abstract: A neural network system is provided that includes a network of neural operators pilot controlled by a control unit. The activities calculated by the operators are memorized in associated memory spaces that are addressable by an activity address. To facilitate reconfiguring the network, the memory space of at least one portion of the operators contains the activity addresses of other operators of the network. Hence, the input activities of these operators may be issued from any other operators in a way that is modifiable by simply changing the values of the activity addresses. The invention is particularly suited to image and sound analysis and synthesis.
