Hardware radial basis function neural network automatic generation

This paper presents a parallel architecture for a radial basis function (RBF) neural network used for pattern recognition. This architecture allows defining sub-networks which can be activated sequentially. It can be used as a fruitful classification mechanism in many application fields. Several imp...
