Abstract :
A new content addressable associative memory structure, cellular associative memory, is proposed. It is composed of simple associative memory cells that are locally interconnected as a regular cellular network. This paper describes broadly the ideas behind cellular associative memory and gives an example in the field of character recognition. The properties of cellular associative memory are compared to those of the Kanerva´s sparse distributed memory (1988) and the Hopfield network.
