REDUCTION OF INTERCONNECTIONS IN QUADRATIC ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY USING PAIR SIGNIFICANCE

Abstract

The Letter demonstrates by using the pair-significance concept that some of the interconnections in quadratic associative memory are disturbing and redundant. By removing the redundant interconnections, more vectors can be stored and better error-correction capability can be achieved. This enables the number of interconnections in quadratic associative memories to be dramatically reduced, retaining the memory capacity and error correction capability.
