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…

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…

Partial annealing and pattern decorrelation in associative neural networks

Linda Albanese, Andrea Alessandrelli, Adriano Barra +2

Using the Hopfield model as a benchmark case, the present work focuses on the investigation of partially annealed associative neural networks, wherein neural dynamics is coupled to…

Serial vs parallel recall in the Blume-Every-Griffiths neural networks

Linda Albanese, Andrea Alessandrelli, Adriano Barra +1

Fully connected Blume-Emery-Griffiths neural networks performing pattern recognition and associative memory have been heuristically studied in the past (mainly via the replica tric…

Networks of neural networks: more is different

Elena Agliari, Andrea Alessandrelli, Adriano Barra +2

The common thread behind the recent Nobel Prize in Physics to John Hopfield and those conferred to Giorgio Parisi in 2021 and Philip Anderson in 1977 is disorder. Quoting Philip An…

Yet another exponential Hopfield model

Linda Albanese, Andrea Alessandrelli, Adriano Barra +1

We propose and analyze a new variation of the so-called {\em exponential Hopfield model}, a recently introduced family of associative neural networks with unprecedented storage cap…
