Memristive Circuit Implementation of Context-Dependent Emotional Learning Network and Its Application in Multitask.

Emotional intelligence plays an important role in artificial intelligence. The brain circuitry of emotion mainly includes the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, hippocampus and et al. Many brain emotional learning (BEL) models were proposed in recent years, the existing BEL models failed to consider the contextual information in practical applications, and do not discuss the corresponding circuit implementation. In this article, a context-dependent emotional learning network (CD-ELN) and its memristive circuit implementation are introduced. The added context-dependent module is used to process the contextual information, which makes the network context dependent when receiving the same input signals. For circuit implementation, the memristive circuit design mainly contains the amygdala module and orbitofrontal cortex module, which imitates the emotion learning process in the brain. Besides, a multi-input multioutput memristive circuit of the context-dependent emotional network is applied to multitask classification. PSPICE simulation results verified the adaptability and flexibility of the CD-ELN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
