Bit-Serial Neural Networks

This arises from representation which gives rise to gentle degradation as faults appear. These functions are attractive to implementation in VLSI and WSI. For example, the natural be useful in silicon wafers with imperfect yield, where thefault - tolerance could is approximately proportional to the non-functioning siliconnetwork degradation area. To cast neural networks in engineering language, a neuron is a state machine that is either "on" or "off', which in general assumes intermediate states as it switches The synapses weighting the signals from asmoothly between these extrema.
