Associative memory models such as the Hopfield network and its dense generalizations with higher-order interactions exhibit a "blackout catastrophe" -- a discontinuous transition where stable memory states abruptly vanish when the number of…

Associative memory retrieves complete patterns from partial or corrupted inputs and constitutes a primitive form of generative inference. Classical Hopfield networks (CHN) provide a canonical framework for associative memory but suffer from…

The retrieval capabilities of associative neural networks can be impaired by different kinds of noise: the fast noise (which makes neurons more prone to failure), the slow noise (stemming from interference among stored memories), and…

We present a Hopfield-like autoassociative network for memories representing examples of concepts. Each memory is encoded by two activity patterns with complementary properties. The first is dense and correlated across examples within…
