Hardware enhancements to radial basis function with restricted coulomb energy learning and/or k-nearest neighbor based neural network classifiers

A nonlinear neuron classifier comprising a neuron array that processes an input vector of variable component length with variable component depths to be input into the classifier for comparison against vectors already stored or learned in the classifier, a system bus interface for detecting and capturing the input vector, and logic that is connected to individual neurons in parallel that broadcasts the input vector concurrently to vectors of similar length and depth stored in the classifier neurons, for calculation.
