Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for analog hardware realization of neural networks. The method includes obtaining a neural network topology and weights of a trained neural network. The method also includes transforming the neural network topology to an equivalent analog network of analog components including operational amplifiers and resistors. Each operational amplifier represents an analog neuron of the equivalent analog network, and each resistor represents a connection between two analog neurons. The method also includes computing a weight matrix based on the weights of the trained neural network. The method also includes generating a resistance matrix for the weight matrix. The method also includes pruning the equivalent analog network to reduce the number of operational amplifiers or the resistors, based on the resistance matrix, to obtain an optimized analog network of analog components.
