Abstract
This paper explains the various models of learning in artificial neural networks which are appropriate for implementation as analog VLSI circuits and systems. We do not cover the wider topic of analog VLSI neural networks in general, but restrict the presentation to circuits which perform in situ learning. Both supervised and unsupervised learning models are included.

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
