Abstract
A multi-feedback circuit apparatus is provided which can prevent undesired oscillation or chaos phenomena that inevitably arise when the Hopfield model is realized by electronic circuits. The apparatus can also reduce the number of synapse nodes in the neural network model.
Claims8
In a multi-feedback circuit apparatus having N units for providing nonlinear conversion performance, each unit including a pair of terminals, one terminal being an input terminal and the other terminal being an output terminal, multiplying means and summing means, said multiplying means multiplying respective values at said output terminals of said units by individual coefficients different to each other, said summing means summing the thus multiplied values, whereby the summed values are then fed back, the improvement comprising:
- changeover means provided in each of said units, said changeover means defining one terminal of said pair of terminals as an input terminal or as an output terminal, and also defining the other terminal of said pair of terminals as an output terminal or as a input terminal in accordance with a given control signal.
