Associative memory

Associative memory may refer to:

• A type of memory closely associated with neural networks
• A recent technology that involves creating a memory of multiple databases, both structured and unstructured data, and making associations in a manner that is similar to the human brain's memory functions.
  • Bidirectional associative memory, a type of recurrent neural network
  • Autoassociative memory, often misunderstood to be only a form of backpropagation or other neural networks. It is actually a more generic term that refers to all memories that enable one to retrieve a piece of data from only a tiny sample of itself
  • Associative Memory Base, stores knowledge and patterns. The analytics engine retrieves similar and related data from the Memory Base. The Memory Base imitates human memory by storing connections and counts in their context. U.S. Patent 7,908,438
  • Hopfield net
• Content-addressable memory, a type of computer memory
• Transderivational search, an aspect of human memory
