Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems for improving the training and inference speed of recurrently connected artificial neural networks by parallelizing application of one or more network layer's recurrent connection weights across all items in the layer's input sequence. More specifically, the present invention specifies methods and systems for carrying out this parallelization for any recurrent network layer that implements a linear time-invariant (LTI) dynamical system. The method of parallelization involves first computing the impulse response of a recurrent layer, and then convolving this impulse response with all items in the layer's input sequence, thereby producing all of the layer's outputs simultaneously. Systems com-posed of one or more parallelized linear recurrent layers and one or more nonlinear layers are then operated to perform pattern classification, signal processing, data representation, or data generation tasks.
