Transforming fundamental set of patterns to a canonical form to improve pattern recall

Abstract

Most results (lemmas and theorems) providing conditions under which associative memories are able to perfectly recall patterns of a fundamental set are very restrictive in most practical applications. In this note we describe a simple but effective procedure to transform a fundamental set of patterns (FSP) to a canonical form that fulfils the propositions. This way pattern recall is strongly improved. We provide numerical and real examples to reinforce the proposal. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
