The Improved Correlation Matrix Memory (CMML)

Twenty years ago a paper detailing a novel neural network, called ADAM and that could be directly implemented in hardware RAM, was published in the first conference of this series. Subsequent research based directly/indirectly on this type of RAM-based neural network founded a research group that has produced over 200 research documents. This paper overviews that research and goes on to mathematically define a CMML, a generalised version of a CMM (the component at the heart of ADAM). The CMML can be trained to replicate the exact computational properties of a CMM and so is a plug-and-play replacement to a CMM; whilst a different training algorithm gives it different properties when used in recall.
