TLDR
The improved BAM model opens interesting new perspectives in information retrieval it allows efficient data access providing segmentation of ambiguous user input, relevance feedback and relevance ranking, and the implication of this for a more flexible version of Hebbian cell-assemblies.

Memory capacities for synaptic and structural plasticity

TL;DR: This work analyzes operating regimes in the Willshaw model in which structural plasticity can compress the network structure and push performance to the theoretical benchmark and introduces fair measures for information-theoretic capacity in associative memory that also provide a theoretical benchmark.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural associative memories and sparse coding

TL;DR: The theoretical, practical and technical development of neural associative memories during the last 40 years is described and the importance of sparse coding of associative memory patterns is pointed out.

The moderating role of familiarity in rural tourism in Spain

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine how tourists' attitudes toward rural tourism, as a new form of tourism, can affect both the quality and the satisfaction that the tourist associates with a specific facility.

How do neurons operate on sparse distributed representations? A mathematical theory of sparsity, neurons and active dendrites.

TL;DR: The theory provides a mathematical framework for understanding the benefits and limits of sparse representations in cortical networks and shows that pattern recognition by a neuron with active dendrites can be extremely accurate and robust with high dimensional sparse inputs even when using a tiny number of synapses to recognize large patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associative memory in networks of spiking neurons.

TL;DR: A computational model of a network of cortical neurons on the base of biophysically well constrained and tested two-compartmental neurons developed by Pinsky and Rinzel is developed and investigated, comparable to optimally tuned formal associative networks.

Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective computational abilities

TL;DR: A model of a system having a large number of simple equivalent components, based on aspects of neurobiology but readily adapted to integrated circuits, produces a content-addressable memory which correctly yields an entire memory from any subpart of sufficient size.

The mathematical theory of communication

TL;DR: The Mathematical Theory of Communication (MTOC) as discussed by the authors was originally published as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago and has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings.
Journal ArticleDOI

A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that many particular choices among possible neurophysiological assumptions are equivalent, in the sense that for every net behaving under one assumption, there exists another net which behaves under another and gives the same results, although perhaps not in the same time.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex

TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.
