Abstract

It is well known that information processing in the brain depends on neuron systems. Simple neuron systems are neural networks, and their learning methods have been studied. However, we believe that research on large-scale neural network systems is still incomplete. Here, we propose a learning method for millions of neurons as resources for a neuron computer. The method is a type of recurrent path-selection, so the neural network objective must have nesting structures. This method is executed at high speed. When information processing is executed by analogue signals, the accumulation of errors is a grave problem. We equipped a neural network with a digitizer and AD/DA (Analogue Digital) converters constructed of neurons. They retain all information signals and guarantee precision in complex operations. By using these techniques, we generated an image shifter constructed of 8.6 million neurons. We believe that there is the potential to design a neuron computer using this scheme.
