Query: Comparison of Update and Genetic Training Algorithms in a Memristor
  Crossbar Perceptron   Memristor-based computer architectures are becoming more attractive as a
possible choice of hardware for the implementation of neural networks. However,
at present, memristor technologies are susceptible to a variety of failure
modes, a serious concern in any application where regular access to the
hardware may not be expected or even possible. In this study, we investigate
whether certain training algorithms may be more resilient to particular
hardware failure modes, and therefore more suitable for use in those
applications. We implement two training algorithms -- a local update scheme and
a genetic algorithm -- in a simulated memristor crossbar, and compare their
ability to train for a simple image classification task as an increasing number
of memristors fail to adjust their conductance. We demonstrate that there is a
clear distinction between the two algorithms in several measures of the rate of
failure to train.
