NETWORK
INTRODUCTION
The NOR gate is a fundamental digital logic gate that outputs
a 0 when all its inputs are 1, and 1 when any of its inputs is 0.
While NOR gates are typically used in digital circuits, in AI,
they can form the basis of certain computational models, such
as custom neural network architectures or binary logic-driven
AI systems. This documentation provides a technical overview
of an AI system based on NOR networks, explains the
problems addressed by such a system, the methods it uses to
solve those problems, and the proposed solutions.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The core problem explored in the AI for NOR Network is the challenge of
designing neural network models that operate effectively using binary logic,
specifically the NOR gate. Neural networks traditionally use continuous functions
like sigmoid or ReLU for activation. The problem with this traditional approach is
that these activations are computationally intensive and may not be as efficient in
certain hardware implementations.
KEY ISSUES INCLUDE
Difficulty in training: Training networks with binary logic gates (such as the
NOR gate) may present challenges in terms of backpropagation and gradient-based
learning methods.
METHOD USED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
The AI for NOR network employs a unique approach of using the NOR gate
as the core activation function within a neural network, replacing traditional
activation functions. This approach leverages binary logic for computational
efficiency, reducing resource consumption, and enhancing processing speed
in specialized hardware (e.g., FPGAs, ASICs). Below are the methods used:

Solution
The solution developed through the AI NOR network involves the following key components.
A Binary Neural Network (BNN): The neural network architecture is composed of binary neurons, where each
neuron uses the NOR logic gate as its activation function. This architecture is computationally more efficient than
traditional deep learning models, especially in low-power and embedded systems.
Training Methodology: A custom version of gradient descent is applied to optimize binary weights and neurons,
allowing the network to learn and adapt over time.
Hardware Efficiency: The network is designed to run efficiently on hardware like FPGAs and embedded systems,
where binary logic can be processed at high speed while consuming minimal power.
RESULTS
Improved Speed: The NOR network, leveraging simple binary operations,
operates much faster than traditional neural networks that rely on floating-point
arithmetic.
