Abstract
A variable sensitivity node for a neural network that can be implemented as an information processing device such as an ASIC, and can be adjusted simply by applying immediate weights or parameters that change and/or amplify or de-amplify the output of the nodes. The information processing device has one or more nodes each with an input setting channel, a logic element configured to translate the input signal into the output signal based on a mathematical function that includes a parameter setting, and a parameter-setting element configured to set the parameter setting based on a control input to the input setting channel, thereby altering the mathematical relationship of the logic element without compromising speed and efficiency.
