Abstract

Energy-efficiency and computation capability characteristics of analog/mixed-signal spiking neural networks offer capable platform for implementation of cognitive tasks on resource-limited embedded platforms. However, inherent mismatch in analog devices severely influence accuracy and reliability of the computing system. In this paper, we devise efficient algorithm for extracting of heterogeneous activation functions of analog hardware neurons as a set of constraints in an off-line training and optimization process, and examine how compensation of the mismatch effects influence synchronicity and information processing capabilities of the system.
