Abstract :
A new multidirectional associative memory (MAM), named combined multi-winner MAM (CMW-MAM) using distributed representation paradigm, is proposed and the association properties for storage of complex memory structure are studied. The conventional MAM stores and recalls information directly, however, the proposed CMW-MAM stores and recalls information hierarchically by the distributed representation which are formed automatically in the networks. The proposed CMW-MAM can handle analog information and can store and recall more complex memory structures. The robustness against incomplete information and internal damage is very strong
