Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.1109/aicas.2019.8771565
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

This paper proposes the analog hardware implementation of Binarized Neural Network (BNN). Most of the existing hardware implementations of neural networks do not consider the memristor variability issue and its effect on the overall system performance. In this work, we investigate the variability in memristive devices in crossbar dot product computation and leakage currents in the proposed BNN, and show how it effects the overall system performance.
