This paper introduces a novel neural architecture which is capable of similar performance to any of the “classic” neural paradigms while having a very simple and efficient mixed-signal implementation which makes it a valuable candidate for intelligent signal processing in portable multimedia applications. The architecture and its realization circuit are described and the functional capabilities of the novel neural architecture called a simplicial neural cell are demonstrated for both regression and classification problems including nonlinear image filtering.
