Abstract: Asynchronous circuits implemented using threshold gate(s) and/or majority gate(s) (or minority gate(s)) are described. The new class of asynchronous circuits can operate at lower power supply levels (e.g., less than 1 V on advanced technology nodes) because stack of devices between a supply node and ground are significantly reduced compared to traditional asynchronous circuits. The asynchronous circuits here result in area reduction (e.g., 3× reduction compared to traditional asynchronous circuits) and provide higher throughput/mm2 (e.g., 2× higher throughput compared to traditional asynchronous circuits). The threshold gate(s), majority/minority gate(s) can be implemented using capacitive input circuits. The capacitors can have linear dielectric or non-linear polar material as dielectric.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training a neural network to recognize sensory patterns includes obtaining input data, preprocessing the input data in one or more preprocessors of the neural network, and applying the preprocessed input data to a core portion of the neural network. The core portion of the neural network includes a plurality of principal neurons and a plurality of interneurons, and is configured to implement a feedback loop from the interneurons to the principal neurons that supports persistent unsupervised differentiation of multiple learned sensory patterns over time. The method further includes obtaining an output from the core portion, and performing at least one automated action based at least in part on the output obtained from the core portion. The neural network may be adaptively expanded to facilitate the persistent unsupervised differentiation of multiple learned sensory patterns over time by incorporating additional interneurons into at least the core portion.
