Pre-coding & Testing Technique for Interfacing Neural Networks Associative Memory

Abstract

Associative memories are one of the most important field of artificial neural networks (ANN) [1, 2, 3]. They have been used as content addressable memories (CAM) which enable them to perform pattern recognition [4, 5] as well as mitigating wireless communications noise [6]. Few applications have been investigated [7] to interface the associative memory in order to make it practical CAM memory. Through this vision scope, the present paper is considered as an attempt for the implementation of such interface by suggesting the Pre-coding and Testing Technique (PTT). Furthermore, it will be shown that the suggested technique influences the retrieval capability of associative memories in particular the Bidirectional Associative Memory which is chosen as an application CAM for the validation and assessment of the proposed technique.
