Robust neural classifier circuits using asynchronous design

Aerospace neural circuits must be adaptive, offer a practical size-performance ratio, and be environmentally robust. Our approach to building such circuits combines asynchronous design with a new fuzzy/neural classifier model. Asynchronous circuits offer many design advantages for neural hardware and our hybrid fuzzy/neural model, using mainly min and max operators, promises a low circuit complexity. The general approach is described and a description of a use of rule-induction to further reduce circuit complexity is described.
