Abstract
According to an embodiment, a machine learning apparatus includes an interlayer accelerator. The interlayer accelerator includes interlayer units that generate, based on (a) an input vector of a first layer included in a neural network that includes three or more layers and (b) a learning weight matrix of the first layer, an input vector of a second layer next to the first layer. Each of the interlayer units includes a coupled oscillator array. The coupled oscillator array includes oscillators that oscillate at frequencies corresponding to differences between elements of the input vector of the first layer and elements of a row vector that is one row of the learning weight matrix, and combines oscillated signals generated by the oscillators to obtain a calculated signal.
