Efficient VLSI Architecture for Training Radial Basis Function Networks

چکیده
This paper presents a novel VLSI architecture for the training of radial basis function (RBF) networks. The architecture contains the circuits for fuzzy C-means (FCM) and the recursive Least Mean Square (LMS) operations. The FCM circuit is designed for the training of centers in the hidden layer of the RBF network. The recursive LMS circuit is adopted for the training of connecting weights in the output layer. The architecture is implemented by the field programmable gate array (FPGA). It is used as a hardware accelerator in a system on programmable chip (SOPC) for real-time training and classification. Experimental results reveal that the proposed RBF architecture is an effective alternative for applications where fast and efficient RBF training is desired.

Radial Basis Function (RBF) networks provide a powerful learning architecture for neural networks [6]. We have implemented a RBF network in analog VLSI using the concept of bump-resistors. A bump-resistor is a nonlinear resistor whose conductance is a Gaussian-like function of the difference of two other voltages. The width of the Gaussian basis functions may be continuously varied so that the ...

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBF NNs) are one of the most applicable NNs in the classification of real targets. Despite the use of recursive methods and gradient descent for training RBF NNs, classification improper accuracy, failing to local minimum and low-convergence speed are defects of this type of network.
