  • Neural processing devices for handling real-valued inputs
    Patent number: 5475795
    Abstract: A device for use in a neural processing network. The network includes a memory having a plurality of storage locations each having stored a number representing a probability. Each storage location is selectively addressible to cause the contents of the location to be read to an input of a comparator. A noise generator inputs to the comparator a random number representing noise. At an output of the comparator, an output signal appears having a first or second value depending on the values of the numbers received from the addressed storage location and the noise generator. The probability of the output signal has a given one of the first and second values determined by the number at the addressed location. The address inputs for the memory are derived from a real-to-spike frequency translator which has real values as its input vector.

  • Digital artificial neuron based on a probabilistic ram
    Patent number: 5175798
    Abstract: A neuron for use in a neural processing network, comprises a memory having a plurality of storage locations at each of which a number representing a probability is stored, each of the storage locations being selectively addressable to cause the contents of the location to be read to an input of a comparator. A noise generator inputs to the comparator a random number representing noise. At an output of the comparator an output signal appears having a first or second value depending on the values of the numbers received from the addressed storage location and the noise generator, the probability of the output signal having a given one of the first and second values being determined by the number at the addressed location.
