Storage capacity of neural networks: effect of the fluctuations of the number of active neurons per memory

TL;DR: The storage capacity in an attractor neural network with excitatory couplings is shown to depend not only on the fraction of active neurons per pattern, but also on the fluctuations around this value, in the thermodynamical limit.

Feature selection and information fusion in hierarchical neural networks for iterative 3D-object recognition

Rebecca Fay
TL;DR: This work offers a novel approach for solving multi-class object recognitions tasks by dividing the complex task into several hierarchically structured sub-problems that are easier to solve.

A modified sparse distributed memory model for extracting clean patterns from noisy inputs

TL;DR: Modifications to the Sparse Distributed Memory model are proposed that improve its efficiency and performance in pattern recall, and the address matrix is built using training samples rather than random binary sequences, which improves the recall performance significantly.

Gnostic cells in the 21st century

TL;DR: It is discussed whether the characteristics of the recently discovered concept cells, i.e. neurons in the human medial temporal lobe with a very high degree of specificity and invariance, fit the conjecture of gnostic or grandmother cells and then discusses the key role of concept cells in memory formation.

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.
