Abstract: A low-power artificial intelligence (AI) processing system combining an artificial neural network (ANN) and a spiking neural network (SNN) includes an ANN including an artificial layer, an SNN configured to output an artificial layer of the ANN as the same operation result, a main controller configured to calculate an ANN computational cost and an SNN computational cost for each artificial layer, an operation domain selector configured to select an operation domain having a lower computational cost by comparing the ANN computational cost and the SNN computational cost, and an equivalent converter configured to form a combined neural network by converting the artificial layer of the ANN into a spiking layer of the SNN according to selection of an SNN operation domain of the operation domain selector. Therefore, there is no loss of accuracy when compared to the ANN.
