A two-level hamming network for high performance associative memory.

摘要

This paper presents an analysis of a two-level decoupled Hamming network, which is a high performance discrete-time/discrete-state associative memory model. The two-level Hamming memory generalizes the Hamming memory by providing for local Hamming distance computations in the first level and a voting mechanism in the second level. In this paper, we study the effect of system dimension, window size, and noise on the capacity and error correction capability of the two-level Hamming memory. Simulation results are given for both random images and human face images.
