arXiv:2602. 07400v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Gradient-based LUT- and logic-gate-based neural networks (LUTNet, LogicNets, DiffLogic, PolyLUT, NeuraLUT, WARP-LUT, DWN, LILogicNet, LightLUT) replace multiply-accumulate arithmetic with Boolean lookups.
FAME is an FPGA-based platform that evaluates approximate multipliers directly in hardware, eliminating slow CPU/GPU LUT emulation and reducing evaluation time for DNN inference. It also introduces a pattern-guided retraining method that uses multiplier-specific patterns to recover accuracy losses. Experiments on ResNet‑18 and MobileNetV2 over ImageNet show up to 3.47× faster multiplier evaluation and a 65.5% accuracy improvement over prior retraining approaches.
arXiv:2606. 19964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a logic-based machine learning approach that relies on simple bitwise operations and finite-state automata, which makes it attractive for edge AI deployments.
The paper presents a PyTorch-based framework for designing and optimizing binarized neural networks, incorporating freezing and pruning mechanisms. It introduces a novel pruning method that uses a global weighting scheme to assess parameter importance across abstraction levels, achieving a 70% pruning rate on VGG11 without sacrificing accuracy—outperforming existing binarized pruning results of 41%. The framework facilitates rapid, reproducible evaluation and prototyping of state‑of‑the‑art binarized network techniques.
arXiv:2607. 08427v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Achieving nanosecond-scale inference latency for deep neural networks (DNNs) has become a primary architectural concern for latency-critical applications.
arXiv:2606. 16440v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Publicly documented accelerator architectures generally separate training computation from optimizer-state updates or rely on external memory and host orchestration.
Achieving nanosecond-scale inference latency for deep neural networks (DNNs) has become a primary architectural concern for latency-critical applications. While Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a promising substrate for low-latency inference, conventional FPGA accelerators remain arithmetic-centric, using LUTs primarily as building blocks for numerical operators and peripheral logic.
arXiv:2607. 18101v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-device model adaptation is essential to enable lifelong personalization on resource-constrained hardware, but compute, power, and memory limitations of such devices make end-to-end backpropagation impractical for modern deep neural networks.

arXiv:2607. 09399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce a novel method for both partial and full optimization of the connections in deep differentiable logic gate networks (LGNs) and lookup table networks (LUTNs).
DiffLUT-Net is an FPGA-native neural‑network architecture that uses six‑input lookup tables (LUTs) trained from scratch. The method jointly learns each LUT’s 64 truth‑table entries and the source connections to its six input ports through a differentiable LUT function relaxation and hardware source selection. After training, the learned truth tables and connections are discretized, unused logic is pruned, and the network is exported as synthesizable Verilog, achieving favorable accuracy‑resource trade‑offs across five benchmarks.
Deep learning frameworks like nnU-Net achieve state-of-theart brain lesion segmentation performance but remain difficult to deploy in clinical research environments due to, among other reasons, software dependencies and computational requirements. We introduce StrokeSeg2, a lightweight, modular, cross-platform C++/Qt framework designed to adapt resource-intensive 3D stroke segmentation pipelines into portable and reproducible applications.
