A self-supervised machine-learning system identifies whether an intermittent signal is present. The system includes a receiver, an encoding neural network, a decoding neural network, and a gating neural network. The receiver detects radiation and from the detected radiation generates a sampled sequence including sampled values describing the intermittent signal and noise. The encoding neural network is trained to compress each window over the sampled sequence into a respective context vector having a fixed dimension less than an incoming dimension of the window. The decoding neural network is trained to decompress the respective context vector for each window into an interim sequence describing the intermittent signal while suppressing the noise. The gating neural network is trained to produce a confidence sequence from a sigmoidal output based on the interim sequence. Despite the noise, the confidence sequence identifies whether the intermittent signal is present in each sampled value in the sampled sequence.

Neural networks, in many cases, include convolution layers that are configured to perform many convolution operations that require multiplication and addition operations. Compared with performing multiplication on integer, fixed-point, or floating-point format values, performing multiplication on logarithmic format values is straightforward and energy efficient as the exponents are simply added. However, performing addition on logarithmic format values is more complex. Conventionally, addition is performed by converting the logarithmic format values to integers, computing the sum, and then converting the sum back into the logarithmic format. Instead, logarithmic format values may be added by decomposing the exponents into separate quotient and remainder components, sorting the quotient components based on the remainder components, summing the sorted quotient components to produce partial sums, and multiplying the partial sums by the remainder components to produce a sum. The sum may then be converted back into the logarithmic format.
