We have developed a fully configurable event-driven convolutional module with refractory period mechanism that can be used to implement arbitrary Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) on FPGAs following a 2D array structure. Using this module, we have implemented in a Spartan6 FPGA a 4-layer ConvNet with 22 convolutional modules trained for...

Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets) are a particular type of neural network often used for many applications like image recognition, video analysis or natural language processing. They are inspired by the human brain, following a specific organization of the connectivity pattern between layers of neurons known as receptive field. These...
