Exponential Capacity in Multilayer Hetero-Associative Neural Networks

Elena Agliari, Adriano Barra, Andrea Ladiana +1

Exponential Hopfield networks store a number of patterns that grows exponentially with the number of neurons, and in their classical formulation they are auto-associative: they com…

Semi-supervised Hopfield model: Theoretical and Numerical results

Linda Albanese, Andrea Ladiana, Andrea Lepre

In the daily practice of Machine Learning, fully labeled datasets are a luxury: labels demand expensive and time-consuming human annotation, whereas raw, unlabeled data can be harv…

Finite-size scaling of hetero-associative retrieval in continuous-signal-driven Ising spin systems

Andrea Ladiana

Real-world physical signals are continuous and high-dimensional, yet the statistical-mechanics machinery of associative memory operates on discrete Ising spins. We bridge this divi…

Do Hopfield Networks Dream of Stored Patterns? A Statistical-Mechanical Theory of Dreaming in Multidirectional Associative Memories

Adriano Barra, Fabrizio Durante, Andrea Ladiana +1

We introduce the Dreaming -directional Associative Memory (DLAM), a multi-layer Hebbian architecture in which off-line dreaming and supervised heteroassociative coupling coexist…

A Federated Many-to-One Hopfield model for associative Neural Networks

Andrea Alessandrelli, Fabrizio Durante, Andrea Ladiana +1

Federated learning enables collaborative training without sharing raw data, but struggles under client heterogeneity and streaming distribution shifts, where drift and novel data c…

Supervised and Unsupervised protocols for hetero-associative neural networks

Andrea Alessandrelli, Adriano Barra, Andrea Ladiana +2

This paper introduces a learning framework for Three-Directional Associative Memory (TAM) models, extending the classical Hebbian paradigm to both supervised and unsupervised proto…
