Abstract
A neural network apparatus according to an embodiment includes neuron circuits, synaptic circuits, and a control circuit. A firing circuit of each neuron circuit outputs a firing signal when absolute value of the internal potential is larger than a firing threshold. A firing threshold adjustment circuit of each neuron circuit changes the firing threshold in accordance with frequency of the firing signal. When the firing signal is output from a pre-synaptic neuron circuit, the synaptic circuit changes the synaptic weight in accordance with a contrast between a learning threshold and the absolute value of the internal potential held in a post-synaptic neuron circuit. The control circuit changes the learning threshold in accordance with frequency of the firing signal from a target neuron circuit. The learning threshold is used for changing the synaptic weight stored in one or more synaptic circuits each outputting the output signal to the target neuron.
