PARSING REGULAR EXPRESSIONS WITH SPIKING NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

Techniques and mechanisms for providing a logical state machine with a spiking neural network which includes multiple sets of nodes. Each of the multiple sets of nodes is to implement a different respective state, and each of the multiple spike trains is provided to respective nodes of each of the multiple sets of nodes. A given state of the logical state machine is implemented by configuring respective activation modes of each node of the corresponding set of nodes. The activation mode of a given node enables that node to signal, responsive to its corresponding spike train, that a respective state transition of the logical state machine is to be performed. In another embodiment, the multiple spike trains each represent a different respective character in a system used by data evaluated with the spiking neural network.
