The authors demonstrate a hardware implementation of the adaptive resonance theory ART 1 neural network architecture. The optoelectronic ART1 unit, is a novel application of an old device. This device-the 4-f or Van der Lugt correlator-has historically been used as a fast pattern classifier. Usually the correlation operation is employed as a matched filter, so that a maximum correlation peak corresponds to a well-matched pattern. The device described also uses the large peaks, but takes specific advantage of the fact that a zero-shift correlation is mathematically equivalent to a two-dimensional inner product. The authors describe a promising method for emulating …

Summary form only given. A new implementation of ART-1 (adaptive resonance theory) has been proposed that efficiently combines optical and electronic devices. All parallel computations are performed by the optics, while serial operations are performed in electronics.


A Neural Architecture For Unsupervised Learning With Shift, Scale And Rotation Invariance, Efficient Software Simulation Heuristics, And Optoelectronic Implementation, Donald C. Wunsch, D. S. Newman, T. P. Caudell, R. A. Falk, C. David Capps Jan 1991

A simple modification of the adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural network allows shift, scale and rotation invariant learning. The authors point out that this can be accomplished as a neural architecture by modifying the standard ART with hardwired interconnects that perform a Fourier-Mellin transform, and show how to modify the heuristics for efficient simulation of ART architectures to accomplish the additional innovation. Finally, they discuss the implementation of this in optoelectronic hardware, using a modification of the Van der Lugt optical correlator
