Circuit implementation of K-winner machine S. Ridella, S. Rovetta and R. Zunino ABSTRACT The K-winner machine (KWM) model for supervised classification enhances vector quantisation by characterising classification outcomes with confidence levels. Each data-space location is assigned a specific local bound to the error probability. Structural simplicity makes the implementation compatible with circuitry for classical VQ, and feature high speed and efficiency. ELECTRONICS LETTERS 8th July 1999 Vol. 35 No. 14 pp. 1172-1173
