Abstract
A neural network device includes: a neuron model unit configured as a non-leaky integrate-and-fire spiking neuron and a spiking neuron with which a postsynaptic current is represented using a step function, the neuron model unit being fired once at most in one process of a neural network to indicate an output of the neural model unit itself at firing timing; and a transfer processing unit that transfers information between the neuron model unit.
Claims5
A neural network device comprising:
- a neuron model means configured as a non-leaky integrate-and-fire spiking neuron and a spiking neuron with which a postsynaptic current is represented using a step function, the neuron model means being fired once at most in one process of a neural network to indicate an output of the neural model means itself at firing timing;
- and
- a transfer processing means for transferring information between the neuron model means.
A processing method comprising:
- performing an action of a spiking neuron, the spiking neuron being a non-leaky integrate-and-fire spiking neuron and a spiking neuron with which a postsynaptic current is represented using a step function, the spiking neuron being fired once at most in one process of a neural network to indicate output of the spiking neuron itself at firing timing;
- and
- performing information transfer between the spiking neuron.
A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program for causing an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to execute:
- performing an action of a spiking neuron, the spiking neuron being a non-leaky integrate-and-fire spiking neuron and a spiking neuron with which a postsynaptic current is represented using a step function, the spiking neuron being fired once at most in one process of a neural network to indicate output of the spiking neuron itself at firing timing;
- and
- performing information transfer between the spiking neuron.
