FPGA Implementations of Neural Networks

Buy

The development of neural networks has now reached the stage where they are employed in a large variety of practical contexts. However, to date the majority of such implementations have been in software. While it is generally recognised that hardware implementations could, through performance advantages, greatly increase the use of neural networks, to date the relatively high cost of developing Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) has meant that only a small number of hardware neurocomputers has gone beyond the research-prototype stage. The situation has now changed dramatically: with the appearance of large, dense, highly parallel FPGA circuits it has now become possible to envisage putting large-scale neural networks in hardware, to get high performance at low costs. This in turn makes it practical to develop hardware neural-computing devices for a wide range of applications, ranging from embedded devices in high-volume/low-cost consumer electronics to large-scale stand-alone neurocomputers. Not surprisingly, therefore, research in the area has recently rapidly increased, and even sharper growth can be expected in the next decade or so.

Nevertheless, the many opportunities offered by FPGAs also come with many challenges, since most of the existing body of knowledge is based on ASICs (which are not as constrained as FPGAs). These challenges range from the choice of data representation, to the implementation of specialized functions, through to the realization of massively parallel neural networks; and accompanying these are important secondary issues, such as development tools and technology transfer. All these issues are currently being investigated by a large number of researchers, who start from different bases and proceed by different methods, in such a way that there is no systematic core knowledge to start from, evaluate alternatives, validate claims, and so forth. FPGA Implementations of Neural Networks aims to be a timely one that fill this gap in three ways: First, it will contain appropriate foundational material and therefore be appropriate for advanced students or researchers new to the field. Second, it will capture the state of the art, in both depth and breadth and therefore be useful researchers currently active in the field. Third, it will cover directions for future research, i.e. embryonic areas as well as more speculative ones.

Lossless Compression Handbook (Communications, Networking and Multimedia)
Lossless Compression Handbook (Communications, Networking and Multimedia)
Compression schemes can be divided into two major classes: lossless compression schemes and lossy compression schemes. Data compressed using lossless compression schemes can be recovered exactly, while lossy compression introduces some loss of information in the reconstruction.

While the first modern compression scheme, Huffman coding,

Design for Emergence: Collaborative Social Play with Online and Location-Based Media, Volume 153 Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications
This thesis is an attempt to address the spontaneous, often unpredictable uses of technology that can foster feelings of social participation. A key idea is that social processes and dynamics advance technological design. Consider the most recent applications that are primarily focused on social interaction: social software (Allen, 2004),...
