Very large-scale Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have achieved remarkable successes in a large variety of computer vision tasks. However, the high computation intensity of DNNs makes it challenging to deploy these models on resource-limited systems. Some studies used low-rank approaches that approximate the filters by low-rank basis to accelerate the testing. Those works directly decomposed the pre-trained...
In this work, we propose a regularized learning method that is able to take into account the deviation of the memristor-mapped synaptic weights from the target values determined during the training process. Experimental results obtained when utilizing the MNIST data set show that compared to the conventional learning method which considers the learning and mapping processes separately, our learning...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently broken many performance records in image recognition and object detection problems. The success of CNNs, to a great extent, is enabled by the fast scaling-up of the networks that learn from a huge volume of data. The deployment of big CNN models can be both computation-intensive and memory-intensive, leaving severe challenges to hardware implementations...
Synapse crossbar is an elementary structure in neuromorphic computing systems (NCS). However, the limited size of crossbars and heavy routing congestion impede the NCS implementation of large neural networks. In this paper, we propose a two-step framework (namely, group scissor) to scale NCS designs to large neural networks. The first step rank clipping integrates low-rank approximation into the training...
IBM TrueNorth chip uses digital spikes to perform neuromorphic computing and achieves ultrahigh execution parallelism and power efficiency. However, in TrueNorth chip, low quantization resolution of the synaptic weights and spikes significantly limits the inference (e.g., classification) accuracy of the deployed neural network model. Existing workaround, i.e., averaging the results over multiple copies...
In implementations of neuromorphic computing systems (NCS), memristor and its crossbar topology have been widely used to realize fully connected neural networks. However, many neural networks utilized in real applications often have a sparse connectivity, which is hard to be efficiently mapped to a crossbar structure. Moreover, the scale of the neural networks is normally much larger than that can...
Spectrum is always a kind of rare resource in wireless communication especially in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which own the wireless connectivity backbone. But in most cases we seldom take full advantage of the spectrum. This problem can be alleviated by the cognitive radio paradigm that aims at devising spectrum sensing and management techniques, thereby allowing radios to intelligently locate...
