Towards Hardware Implementation of Double-Layer Perceptron Based on Metal-Oxide Memristive Nanostructures

Abstract: Construction and training principles have been proposed and tested for an artificial neural network based on metal-oxide thin-film nanostructures possessing bipolar resistive switching (memristive) effect. Experimental electronic circuit of neural network is implemented as a double-layer perceptron with a weight matrix composed of 32 memristive devices. The network training algorithm takes into account technological variations of the parameters of memristive nanostructures. Despite the limited size of weight matrix the developed neural network model is well scalable and capable of solving nonlinear classification problems.
