Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a design technique for approximate circuits based on artificial neural network, and then evaluates the validity of our technique.
In the process of circuit design, complex functions are replaced with simple neural networks so that high-performance approximate circuits can be synthesized.
Our four methods to implement a neural network enable us to simplify its structure.
In our experiments, which synthesize approximate circuits of an edge detection algorithm, the maximum speedup of $3times$ can be achieved with quality loss of 4%.
