A Generalised Entropy Based Associative Model.

In this paper, a generalised entropy based associative memory model will be proposed and applied to memory retrievals with analogue embedded vectors instead of the binary ones in order to compare with the conventional autoassociative model with a quadratic Lyapunov functionals. In the present approach, the updating dynamics will be constructed on the basis of the entropy minimization strategy which may be reduced asymptotically to the autocorrelation dynamics as a special case. From numerical results, it will be found that the presently proposed novel approach realizes the larger memory capacity even for the analogue memory retrievals in comparison with the autocorrelation model based on dynamics such as associatron according to the higher-order correlation involved in the proposed dynamics.
