Oscillator-Based Processing Unit for Formant Recognition

Abstract

Oscillatory neural networks have been successfully applied to a number of computing problems, such as associative memories and computationally hard optimization tasks. In this paper, we show how to use oscillators to process time-dependent waveforms with minimal or no preprocessing. Since preprocessing and first-layer processing are often the most power-hungry steps in neural networks, our findings may open new doors to simple and power-efficient edge-AI devices.
