Embodiment 1

[0030] Use 12 memristors, 12 MOS tubes, 4 capacitors, 4 resistors, and 4 DC power supplies to connect according to the above-mentioned connection method, that is, to construct a memristor-based with four neurons Array of WTA neural networks, such as figure 2 Shown. Analyzing the network, the dynamic equation (4) can be obtained, where N=4. Through mathematical analysis of the dynamic equation, it can be verified that the neural network has WTA characteristics.

Embodiment 2

[0032] Use 56 memristors, 56 MOS tubes, 8 capacitors, 8 resistors, and 8 DC power supplies to connect according to the above-mentioned connection method, that is, to construct a memristor-based with eight neurons Array of WTA neural network. Analyzing the network, the dynamic equation formula (4) can be obtained, where N=8. Through mathematical analysis of the dynamic equation, it can be verified that the neural network has WTA characteristics.

[0033] Finally, the MATLAB simulations of Example 1 and Example 2 were performed respectively, and the simulation results were as follows: image 3 , Figure 4 Shown. It can be seen from the simulation results that only one output is positive and the other outputs are negative, showing the WTA characteristics.

Embodiment 3

[0035] 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, which is connected through a converter. 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. Combine the above-mentioned embodiment 1 to construct a classifier, its structure is as follows Figure 5 Shown.

[0036] In order to verify the effect of the classifier, we apply it to the classification and recognition of skin diseases. We use the data in the Dermatology Database to classify the sub-types of skin diseases such as erythemato-scuamous. We used 366 groups of data: 72 groups were lichen planus (lichen planus), 49 groups were pityriasis rosea (pityriasis rosea), 52 groups were chronic dermatitis (chronic dermatitis), 112 groups were psoriasis (psoriasis), 61 groups were Seborrheic dermatiti...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of neural networks, and relates to a WTA neural network based on a memristor array and an application thereof. The WTA neural network and its application, the classifier model, are realized through the design of the memristor array, and a classification recognition method that can be used for the characteristics of skin diseases is proposed. Among them, the WTA model is composed of memristors, MOSFETs, capacitors, resistors and power supplies. On this basis, a classifier based on memristor array WTA neural network is derived. The purpose is to use memristors to realize WTA neural network and its classifier, and to explore the application of memristors in neural networks and medical decision-making. Compared with the traditional WTA neural network, the classifier designed by using the memristor array of the present invention has excellent performance, and can be applied to the fields of medical disease classification and the like.
