Embodiment 1

[0031] Using 12 memristors, 12 MOS tubes, 4 capacitors, 4 resistors, and 4 DC power supplies, connect them according to the connection method described above, that is, a memristor-based neuron with four neurons is constructed. array of WTA neural networks, Such as figure 2 shown. Analyzing the network, its kinetic equation formula (4) can be obtained, where N=4. Through the mathematical analysis of the kinetic equation, it can be verified that the neural network has WTA characteristics.

Embodiment 2

[0033] Using 56 memristors, 56 MOS tubes, 8 capacitors, 8 resistors, and 8 DC power supplies, connect them according to the connection method described above, that is, a memristor-based neuron with eight neurons is constructed. Array of WTA neural networks. Analyzing the network, its kinetic equation formula (4) can be obtained, where N=8. Through the mathematical analysis of the kinetic equation, it can be verified that the neural network has WTA characteristics.

[0034] Carry out MATLAB emulation to embodiment 1, embodiment 2 respectively at last, emulation result respectively Such as image 3 , Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from the simulation results that only one output is positive, and the other outputs are all negative, showing WTA characteristics.

Embodiment 3

[0036] The WTA neural network classifier based on the memristor array combines the BP neural network with the WTA neural network based on the memristor array, and is connected through a converter in the middle. After the output of the first part of the BP network is isolated and driven by the second part of the converter, it is used as the input of the third part of the WTA neural network. Build classifier in conjunction with above-mentioned embodiment 1, its structure Such as Figure 5 shown.

[0037] In order to verify the effect of the classifier, we apply it to the classification and recognition of skin diseases. We used the data in the Dermatology Database to classify the sub-diseases of the large category of erythemato-scuamous skin diseases. We used 366 sets of data: 72 for lichen planus, 49 for pityriasis rosea, 52 for chronic dermatitis, 112 for psoriasis, and 61 for seborrheic Dermatitis (seborrheicdermatitis), 20 groups are red pityriasis hair (pityriasis rubra...
