Efficient neuro-fuzzy system and its Memristor Crossbar-based Hardware Implementation

In this paper a novel neuro-fuzzy system is proposed where its learning is based on the creation of fuzzy relations by using new implication method without utilizing any exact mathematical techniques. Then, a simple memristor crossbar-based analog circuit is designed to implement this neuro-fuzzy system which offers very interesting properties. In addition to high connectivity between neurons and being fault-tolerant, all synaptic weights in our proposed method are always non-negative and there is no need to precisely adjust them. Finally, this structure is hierarchically expandable and can compute operations in real time since it is implemented through analog circuits. Simulation results show the efficiency and applicability of our neuro-fuzzy computing system. They also indicate that this system can be a good candidate to be used for creating artificial brain.

Memristor Crossbar-based Hardware Implementation of IDS Method

Ink Drop Spread (IDS) is the engine of Active Learning Method (ALM), which is the methodology of soft computing. IDS, as a pattern-based processing unit, extracts useful information from a system subjected to modeling. In spite of its excellent potential in solving problems such as classification and modeling compared to other soft computing tools, finding its simple and fast hardware implementation is still a challenge. This paper describes a new hardware implementation of IDS method based on the memristor crossbar structure. In addition of simplicity, being completely real-time, having low latency and the ability to continue working after the occurrence of power breakdown are some of the advantages of our proposed circuit.
