Abstract
A computer-implemented method for performing a classification of an input signal utilizing a neural network includes: computing, by a feature extraction unit of the neural network, a query vector; and performing, by a classification unit, a factorization of the query vector to a plurality of codebook vectors of a plurality of codebooks to determine a corresponding class of a number of classes. A set of combinations of vector products of the plurality of codebook vectors of the plurality of codebooks establishes a number of classes of the classification unit.
