Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A generalized bell-shaped function is an essential building block for a neuro-fuzzy systems and radial basis function neural networks. With the advent of edge computing, analog neuro-chips can potentially speed-up the near sensor computing. In this paper, we present a generalized bell function generator circuit for machine learning architectures. The circuit design of generalized bell-shaped function as the hybrid CMOS-Memristor that is compatible with typical memristive crossbar architecture is presented, where it uses three memristors to control the output current shape. Designed circuit occupies 10 μm2and consumes less than 4.1 μW. The proposed circuit could be used as a standalone neuron for radial basis function neural network, as demonstrated in this work.
