>Now, what the hell is a "bipolar" neural network?
A Bipolar Binary Neural Network is one where all weights/biases are -1 or 1. The purpose of this is that it results in a network which is easy to translate to HDL. My goal was to find networks and then make them into physical hardware via an FPGA or similar. If this could be done with large and useful networks, they would become faster, physically smaller and use less energy. But the method I have to find them has a search space which is hopelessly large.
