A Comparative Study of Sparse Associative Memories

Gripon V., Heusel J., Löwe M., Vermet F.

Zusammenfassung

We study various models of associative memories with sparse information, i.e. a pattern to be stored is a random string of 0s and 1s with about log N 1s, only. We compare different synaptic weights, architectures and retrieval mechanisms to shed light on the influence of the various parameters on the storage capacity.
