A hardware design for a new learning system based on fuzzy concepts

Abstract

This paper presents a hardware system that implements the active learning method (ALM), a methodology of soft computing. ALM has processing engines called IDS, which are tasked with extracting useful information from a system subject to modeling. In realizing ALM in hardware, it will be desirable in terms of processing nature, performance, and scalability to utilize dedicated hardware for IDS. This paper primarily describes the actual hardware design of an IDS module, and shows the findings of tests of an ALM hardware system that implemented this module.
