SOLAR

A data driven Self Organizing Learning Array (SOLAR) is proposed and its hardware structures are being developed in this project. It has three advantageous features over a typical neural network technology: online learning; local interconnections; entropy based local selection of the optimum transformation functions and threshold values. This learning array can perform intelligent tasks such as pattern recognition, prediction and modeling of unknown systems without being programmed beforehand, and find a wide range of applications from security to everyday life, from military to commercial.
