Abstract
A method of and an apparatus for determining the best match, i.e., minimum Hamming distance, between a search word and a plurality of file words is disclosed. The method involves simultaneously comparing the search word to a file word and to a match word. If the comparison indicates that the file word is a better match than the match word, the file word becomes the match word and the next file word is compared to the new match word. The operation continues until all the file words have been operated upon such that the last match word becomes the best match word.

Parallel associative memory having improved selection and decision mechanisms for recognizing and sorting relevant patterns

TL;DR: A parallel associative memory as mentioned in this paper provides a way of recognizing or identifying observed data patterns, where each memory store a plurality of recognition patterns, and the recall pattern is contemporaneously compared to the recognition patterns stored in the memories and an exact or best match recognition pattern is selected.

Content-addressable memory with soft-match capability

TL;DR: In this paper, each word location in a content-addressable memory has a tally circuit (24-0, 24-1, 24 -255) associated with it, and each comparison circuit also applies to a priority encoder (32) an output that indicates whether the associated tally circuit has generated a tally signal representing a tally greater than that from all previious locations.

Speaker-independent word recognizer

TL;DR: In this article, the zero crossing intervals of the input speech are measured and sorted by duration, to provide a rough measure of the frequency distribution within each input frame, which is transformed into a binary feature vector, and compared with each reference template using a modified Hamming distance measure.
