Logic design with evolving truth-table (LoDETT) for pattern recognition LSIs

Presents a general and consistent design and fabrication process for pattern recognition LSI chips. In the process, the truth-table converted from the sample patterns is evolved to obtain generalization for unknown patterns, and the table is implemented on the reconfigurable LSI chips. With this process, named LoDETT (Logic Design with Evolving Truth-Table), the highly parallel hardware specialized for each task is easily fabricated with a quick turnaround time at each user site. We apply LoDETT to the English pronunciation recognition task and show the implementation results and performance.
