Abstract

This paper presents a continuous-time model of Autoassociative Neural Memories (ANMs) which correspond to a modified version of pseudoinverse-type ANMs. This ANM model is derived from minimizing the energy function for a modular neural network. Through the eigendecomposition of the connection matrix, we show that the dynamical properties of the ANM are qualitatively different in the two state subspaces: a pattern-subspace and a noise-subspace. The proposed ANM has a distinctive feature in the noise-subspace dynamics. The size of basins of attraction can be varied by controlling the contribution of the noise-subspace dynamics to the whole network. The first simulation confirms this attractive feature. In the second simulation, we investigate the performance robustness of the ANM for several kinds of correlated pattern sets. These simulation results confirm the usefulness of the proposed ANM.
