Abstract:
A linear network was built to classify analog signals consisting of a large number of parallel inputs. These inputs were derived by a feature abstracting system using synthetic nerve networks. In this classification network the signals pass simultaneously through a maximum amplitude filter and then are classified by a resistive memory matrix. The maximum amplitude filter attenuates smaller inputs much more than larger ones and serves to pick out predominant features. This is a way of utilizing the pandemonium concept of Selfridge. Classification by linear hyperplanes is discussed briefly and then the operation and design of the maximum amplitude filter is covered. Author
