Abstract:
A convolutional neural network is provided comprising artificial neurons arranged in layers, each comprising output matrices. An output matrix comprises output neurons and is connected to an input matrix, comprising input neurons, by synapses associated with a convolution matrix comprising weight coefficients associated with the output neurons of an output matrix. Each synapse consists of a set of memristive devices storing a weight coefficient of the convolution matrix. In response to a change of the output value of an input neuron, the neural network dynamically associates each set of memristive devices with an output neuron connected to the input neuron. The neural network comprises accumulator(s) for each output neuron; to accumulate the values of the weight coefficients stored in the sets of memristive devices dynamically associated with the output neuron, the output value of the output neuron being determined from the value accumulated in the accumulator(s).
