Multilayer associative memory and its hybrid optical implementation
Abstract:
We propose a multilayer associative memory with a winner-take-all operation on the inner product between an input and stored exemplars. The winner-take-all operation is performed by a unit-step operation with an adaptive-threshold strategy. We show that the multilayer-associative-memory unit-step operation with an adaptive-threshold strategy has a high noise immunity and a large storage capacity, and it is also capable of extending to a gray-level associative memory with a phase-representation technique. A hybrid optical implementation with a proof-of-concept experiment is also provided.

Long-Term Memory
Long-term memory can be categorized into two primary types: explicit and implicit memory. Explicit memory, also known as declarative memory, involves the conscious recollection of information that we deliberately try to remember, recall, and articulate. This type of memory encompasses specific facts, events, and...
