Claim 13:
14. A neural network execution program causing a computer to serve as a neural network circuit device, the neural network circuit device including at least an input layer, one or more intermediate layers, and an output layer, the neural network execution program realizing functions, in the intermediate layer, of:
a convolution operation circuit part configured to receive an input value X to which convolution is applied, and a weight Wi, and to perform a convolution operation thereof;
a sum circuit part configured to take a sum of operation values each subjected to the convolution operation and a bias W0; and
an activating function circuit part configured to convert a signal Y generated by taking the sum, using an activating function f(u),
wherein the convolution operation circuit part is configured to skip a weight Wi having a zero weight and to perform a convolution operation based on a nonzero weight and an input value Xi corresponding thereto.
