Abstract
The present invention addresses the problem of implementing a neural network using a small-scale circuit by simplifying the multiplication of the input data by weight data. The neural network circuit according to the present invention is configured from: a means for multiplying input data by a rounded value of the mantissa part of weight data; a means for shifting the multiplication result by the number of bits of the rounded value; a means for adding the shifted result to the original input data; and a means for shifting the addition result by the number of bits of the exponent part of the weight.
