1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Neuromorphic computing (NC) architecture inspired by biological nervous systems has been actively studied to overcome the limitations of conventional von Neumann architectures. In this work, we propose a reconfigurable NC block using a flash-type synapse array, emerging positive feedback (PF) neuron devices, and CMOS peripheral circuits, and integrate them on the same substrate to experimentally demonstrate the operations of the proposed NC block. Conductance modulation in the flash memory enables the NC block to be easily calibrated for output signals. In addition, the proposed NC block uses a reduced number of devices for analog-to-digital conversions due to the super-steep switching characteristics of the PF neuron device, substantially reducing the area overhead of NC block. Our NC block shows high energy efficiency (37.9 TOPS/W) with high accuracy for CIFAR-10 image classification (91.80%), outperforming prior works. This work shows the high engineering potential of integrating synapses and neurons in terms of system efficiency and high performance.
