    Abstract: Disclosed is a methods and apparatus which can improve defect tolerability of a hardware-based neural network. In one embodiment, a method for performing a calculation of values on first neurons of a first layer in a neural network, includes: receiving a first pattern of a memory cell array; determining a second pattern of the memory cell array according to a third pattern; determining at least one pair of columns of the memory cell array according to the first pattern and the second pattern; switching input data of two columns of each of the at least one pair of columns of the memory cell array; and switching output data of the two columns in each of the at least one pair of columns of the memory cell array so as to determine the values on the first neurons of the first layer.

    Abstract: A method and a system for memory cell programming and erasing with refreshing operation are disclosed. The system includes a selecting module, a processing module and a refresh module. In the method, at first, a target memory cell from a plurality of memory cells in a memory device is selected. Thereafter, the target memory cell belonging to a line of the matrix is programmed or erased by applying a selecting voltage on the target memory cell and a location-related memory cell belonging to the line of the matrix. Then, a refreshing operation to refresh the location-related cell is performed
