Title: A hypercube compact neural network

Conference · · Neural Networks; (United States)
OSTI ID:6024078

A major problem facing implementation of neural networks is the connection problem. One popular tradeoff is to remove connections. Random disconnection severely degrades the capabilities. The hypercube based Compact Neural Network (CNN) has structured architecture combined with a rearrangement of the memory vectors gives a larger input space and better degradation than a cost equivalent network with more connections. The CNNs are based on a Hopfield network. The changes from the Hopfield net include states of -1 and +1 and when a node was evaluated to 0, it was not biased either positive or negative, instead it resumed its previous state. L = PEs, N = memories and t/sub ij/s is the weights between i and j.
