ABSTRACT:
A digital artificial neural network (ANN) reduces memory requirements by storing sample transfer function representing output values for multiple nodes. Each nodes receives an input value representing the information to be processed by the network. Additionally, the node determines threshold values indicative of boundaries for application of the sample transfer function for the node. From the input value received, the node generates an intermediate value. Based on the threshold values and the intermediate value, the node determines an output value in accordance with the sample transfer function.
