Neural Net Using LEDs?
Has anyone created a neural net where the weights are expressed
as varying brightness of LEDs? That would make it interesting to
watch how the net learns and how it responds to queries.
When the net used 4 bit weights the LEDs would be in one of only
16 difference brightness levels.
Instead of LEDs, which would draw a lot of power for a 1M array,
it would be useful to use one of the huge screen TVs.
Even more interesting would be the ability to see how the various
"expert" subnets interact.
- dekhn 2y agoThe original perceptron machine built by Rosenblatt used self-rotating potentiometer knobs to visualize and change weights for a perceptron that used a cadmium sulfide "pixels" camera. I believe you could use LEDs and if you were really clever, you can use the fact that LEDs are also light sensitive to adjust the LED "weights".
