Information inflow into a computational system is by a sequence of information items. Cognitive computing, i.e. performing transformations along that sequence, requires to represent item information as well as sequential information. Among…
Basic experimental findings about human working memory can be described by an algebra built on high-dimensional binary states, representing information items, and two operations: multiplication for binding and addition for bundling. In…
Representations pervade our daily experience, from letters representing sounds to bit strings encoding digital files. While such representations require externally defined decoders to convey meaning, conscious experience appears…
In the present paper, we analyze symmetric mixed states corresponding to the so-called concept formation on a sparsely encoded associative memory model with 0-1 neurons. Three types of mixed states, OR, AND and a majority decision mixed…
We investigate a new method to augment recurrent neural networks with extra memory without increasing the number of network parameters. The system has an associative memory based on complex-valued vectors and is closely related to…
Associative memories in the brain receive and store patterns of activity registered by the sensory neurons, and are able to retrieve them when necessary. Due to their importance in human intelligence, computational models of associative…
The $\textit{von Neumann Computer Architecture}$ has a distinction between computation and memory. In contrast, the brain has an integrated architecture where computation and memory are indistinguishable. Motivated by the architecture of…
Several guiding principles for thought processes are proposed and a neural-network-type model implementing these principles is presented and studied. We suggest to consider thinking within an associative network built-up of overlapping…
The energy efficiency of analog forms of computing makes it one of the most promising candidates to deploy resource-hungry machine learning tasks on resource-constrained system such as mobile or embedded devices. However, it is well known…
Neural networks embed the geometric structure of a data manifold lying in a high-dimensional space into latent representations. Ideally, the distribution of the data points in the latent space should depend only on the task, the data, the…
Associative memories are data structures that allow retrieval of stored messages from part of their content. They thus behave similarly to human brain that is capable for instance of retrieving the end of a song given its beginning. Among…
Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a special class of recurrent neural network, which has shown remarkable successes in processing sequential data. The typical architecture of an LSTM involves a set of states and gates: the states retain…
The brain must robustly store a large number of memories, corresponding to the many events encountered over a lifetime. However, the number of memory states in existing neural network models either grows weakly with network size or recall…
Natural memories are associative, declarative and distributed. Symbolic computing memories resemble natural memories in their declarative character, and information can be stored and recovered explicitly; however, they lack the associative…
Associative memories are structures that store data in such a way that it can later be retrieved given only a part of its content -- a sort-of error/erasure-resilience property. They are used in applications ranging from caches and memory…
A new approach to inference in state space models is proposed, based on approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). ABC avoids evaluation of the likelihood function by matching observed summary statistics with statistics computed from data…
Associative memories are data structures addressed using part of the content rather than an index. They offer good fault reliability and biological plausibility. Among different families of associative memories, sparse ones are known to…
Minimum redundancy among different elements of an embedding in a latent space is a fundamental requirement or major preference in representation learning to capture intrinsic informational structures. Current self-supervised learning…
A quantitative model of concurrent interaction is introduced. The basic objects are linear combinations of partial order relations, acted upon by a group of permutations that represents potential non-determinism in synchronisation. This…
Decision making via sequence modeling aims to mimic the success of language models, where actions taken by an embodied agent are modeled as tokens to predict. Despite their promising performance, it remains unclear if embodied sequence…
