Pattern learning in humans and electronic learning nets

TL;DR: A previously unseen similarity between an associative memory model recently proposed for the brain and some electronic systems that have been developed for practical learning machines is reported on.

Enhancing the storage capacity of binary associative memories

TL;DR: It is shown that the hidden layer associative network is less dependent on the number of ones in the storage patterns and shows an improved retrieval capacity from incomplete retrieval patterns.

Binary Willshaw learning yields high synaptic capacity for long-term familiarity memory

TL;DR: This study investigates from a computational perspective the efficiency of the Willshaw synaptic update rule in the context of familiarity discrimination, a binary-answer, memory-related task that has been linked through psychophysical experiments with modified neural activity patterns in the prefrontal and perirhinal cortex regions.

Learning Hierarchically Structured Concepts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a synchronous spiking neural network (SNN) model to learn hierarchical concepts with robustness, i.e., it tolerates a bounded amount of noise.

Theory of Optical Information Storage in Solids

TL;DR: The theory of three-dimensional optical storage lends support to Beurle’s proposed mechanism of information storage in the brain, and makes three- dimensional storage very suitable for associative memories.

Holographic Model of Temporal Recall

TL;DR: It is shown that there is at least one other mathematical model, which is considered to be a closer analogue of holography, because it operates with triple products of the temporal function to be recognized or recalled.

Improved holographic model of temporal recall.

TL;DR: The modified static system described here is an alternative to Longuet-Higgins' model and takes account of the weaknesses of the nervous system as well as of its powers to imitate human memory with models.

The Classification of Modifiable Synapses and Their Use In Models For Conditioning

TL;DR: It is argued that if the conditioning and memory mechanisms of the nervous system store information by means of modifiable synapses, some of these must be of class B or C, and if the models are to be given the property of extinction, classical conditioning requires modifiablesynapses of classes A and B or of class C.
