Neural Network Implementation by Hardware

Abstract

In modern society, electronic devices such as smart phones, laptops, smart homes, etc. Are playing increasingly significant role in human’s daily life. The hottest topic in recent years, artificial intelligence which is the basic of intelligent life is embedded in these electronic devices. Artificial Neural Network is one of the areas of artificial intelligence, it provides a way to make machines think, recognize and make decisions as human being. However, it is not very common that implementing artificial neural network by hardware. In this project, a typical artificial neural network, which can recognize handwritten numbers is implemented by FPGA.
