Item Open Access Variations in associative memory design(Bilkent University, 1996) Akar, MehmetThis thesis is concerned with the anaiysis and synthesis of neurai networks to be used as associative memories. First considering a discrete-time neurai network modei which uses a quantizer-type muitiievei activation function, a way of seiecting the connection weights is proposed. In addition to this, the idea of overiapping decompositions, which is extensiveiy used in the soiution of iarge-scaie probiems, is appiied to discrete-time neurai networks with binary neurons. 'I’lie necesscuy toois for expansions and contractions are derived, and algorithms for decomposition of a set equiiibria into smaiier dimensionai equiiibria sets and for designing neurai networks for these smaiier ciimensionai equiiibria sets are given. The concept is iiiustrated with various exarnpies.
