Abstract

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