Patent GB-2586642-A (GB)
Title: Data processing
Inventor: CHARLES EDWARD MICHAEL REYNOLDS
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2019-08-30
Abstract: A binary neural network uses trained one-bit weight values and one-hot n-bit input data values (n>1) to generate a hidden layer output. The weights are organised into groups of n trained one-bit weight values, each group associated with a respective input. The hidden layer output is generated based on an intermediate result of a selective inversion operation applied to each bit of a given input. The selective inversion operation is either an inversion or a non-inversion, and this choice is defined by the bit value of the associated weight. If all the bit values in the group of one-bit weight values define a (non)-inversion then the intermediate result takes a first(second) predetermined value independent of the input. Generating the hidden layer output by comparing a sum of the intermediate results for all inputs to a threshold value is also disclosed. This is simplified by comparing the threshold to maximum and minimum values of the intermediate sum. An associated training method is disclosed, in which inputs are encoded to generate one-hot n bit data values in which each of the n bits indicates whether the input lies in a respective learned sub-range.
