Abstract
Only a pair of patterns are associated with each other for the conventional associative memories. Therefore, those memories have such problems that memory capacity is small and noise tolerance is low. The aim of this paper is to propose a pattern analysis-type associative memory that not only a pair of patterns but also their analyzed information are associated with one another. To examine the effectiveness of the proposed associative memory, computer simulation was performed on memory capacity and noise tolerance. As a result, it was confirmed that memory capacity and noise tolerance of the proposed associative memory were higher than an improved layered-type associative memory.
