METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH NEURAL NETWORK DATA INPUT AND OUTPUT CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18095674 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH NEURAL NETWORK DATA INPUT AND OUTPUT CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a neural network deep learning data control apparatus that includes an encoding circuit and a decoding circuit. The encoding circuit compresses a data sequence by combining consecutive invalid bits into a single bit and generates a validity determination sequence indicating valid and invalid bits. The compressed data sequence and the validity determination sequence are then stored in memory. The decoding circuit reads the compressed data sequence and the validity determination sequence from memory and determines which bits in the compressed data sequence should be transmitted to the neural network circuit based on the validity determination sequence. This allows the neural network circuit to skip operations on non-consecutive invalid bits.

Original Abstract Submitted

A neural network deep learning data control apparatus includes: a memory; an encoding circuit configured to receive a data sequence, generate a compressed data sequence in which consecutive invalid bits in a bit string of the data sequence are compressed into a single bit of the compressed data sequence, generate a validity determination sequence indicating a valid bit and an invalid bit in a bit string of the compressed data sequence, and write the compressed data sequence and the validity determination sequence to the memory; and a decoding circuit configured to read the compressed data sequence and the validity determination sequence from the memory, and determine a bit in the bit string of the compressed data sequence set for transmission to a neural network circuit, based on the validity determination sequence, such that the neural network circuit omits an operation with respect to non-consecutive invalid bits.
