Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Stochastic computing (SC) is an arithmetic technique that enables various operations to be performed with a small number of logic gates in exchange for operational accuracy. In this paper, we discuss the realization of an edge AI integrated circuit with a learning function based on the SC. First, we propose a logic circuit that realizes an area-efficient activation function that does not require decoding in the midst of forward operations. Next, we propose a method to realize an operation equivalent to subtraction, which is considered to be difficult in SC, as well as propose a new arithmetic method that mimics the synaptic transmission of neural circuits. By assuming the input to the activation function, we also propose a summation operation that utilizes imperfect addition, which has rarely been used in SC. By introducing these arithmetic methods, we propose a digital implementation of a multilayer perceptron based on the SC. First, we learn simple logic operations and then learn linear and nonlinear regression problems. We then demonstrate the feasibility of SC-based machine learning. The method presented herein will expand the options of edge AI integrated circuits using SC and may contribute to the development of edge AI integrated circuits in the future.
