Abstract
A neural network device may include an input unit suitable for applying input signals to corresponding first lines, a calculating unit including memory elements cross-connected between the first lines and second lines, wherein the memory elements have respective weight values and generate product signals of input signals of corresponding first lines from among the plurality of first lines and weights to output the product signals to corresponding second lines from among the second lines, a drop-connect control unit including switches connected between the plurality of first lines and the plurality of memory elements, and suitable for randomly dropping a connection of an input signal applied to a corresponding memory element from among the plurality of memory elements, and an output unit connected to the plurality of second lines, and suitable for selectively activating signals of the plurality of second lines to apply the activated signals to the input unit and performing an output for the activated signals when the calculating unit performs generating of the product signals a set number of times.
