COMPUTER FÜR EIN GEPULSTES NEURONALES NETZWERK MIT MAXIMALER AGGREGATION

摘要

The invention proposes a computer (10) based on a spiking neural network, comprising at least one maximum aggregation layer. In response to an input spike received by a neuron of the maximum aggregation layer, the device is configured to receive the address of the activated synapse. The device comprises an address comparator configured to compare the address of the activated synapse with a set of reference addresses. Each reference address is associated with a hardness value and with an aggregation neuron. The device activates a neuron of the maximum aggregation layer if the address of the activated synapse is equal to one of the reference addresses and if the hardness value associated with this reference address has the highest value among the hardness values associated with the other reference addresses of the set.
