Despite recent progress in memory augmented neural network (MANN) research, associative memory networks with a single external memory still show limited performance on complex relational reasoning tasks. Especially the content-based addressable memory networks often fail to encode input data into rich enough representation for relational reasoning and this limits the relation modeling performance of MANN for long temporal sequence data. To address these problems, here we introduce a novel Distributed Associative Memory architecture (DAM) with Memory Refreshing Loss (MRL) which enhances the relation reasoning performance of MANN. Inspired by how the human brain works, our framework encodes data with distributed representation across multiple memory blocks and repeatedly refreshes the contents for enhanced memorization similar to the rehearsal process of the brain. For this procedure, we replace a single external memory with a set of multiple smaller associative memory blocks and update these sub-memory blocks simultaneously and independently for the distributed representation of input data. Moreover, we propose MRL which assists a tasks target objective while learning relational information existing in data. MRL enables MANN to reinforce an association between input data and task objective by reproducing stochastically sampled input data from stored memory contents. With this procedure, MANN further enriches the stored representations with relational information. In experiments, we apply our approaches to Differential Neural Computer (DNC), which is one of the representative content-based addressing memory models and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on both memorization and relational reasoning tasks.

Humans can quickly associate stimuli to solve problems in novel contexts. Our novel neural network model learns state representations of facts that can be composed to perform such associative inference. To this end, we augment the LSTM model with an associative memory, dubbed Fast Weight Memory (FWM). Through differentiable operations at every step of a given input sequence, the LSTM updates and maintains compositional associations stored in the rapidly changing FWM weights. Our model is trained end-to-end by gradient descent and yields excellent performance on compositional language reasoning problems, meta-reinforcement-learning for POMDPs, and small-scale word-level language modelling.
The paper proposes an improved quantum associative algorithm with distributed query based on model proposed by Ezhov et al. We introduce two modifications of the query that optimized data retrieval of correct multi-patterns simultaneously for any rate of the number of the recognition pattern on the total patterns. Simulation results are given.
Recently, neuro-inspired episodic control (EC) methods have been developed to overcome the data-inefficiency of standard deep reinforcement learning approaches. Using non-/semi-parametric models to estimate the value function, they learn rapidly, retrieving cached values from similar past states. In realistic scenarios, with limited resources and noisy data, maintaining meaningful representations in memory is essential to speed up the learning and avoid catastrophic forgetting. Unfortunately, EC methods have a large space and time complexity. We investigate different solutions to these problems based on prioritising and ranking stored states, as well as online clustering techniques. We also propose a new dynamic online k-means algorithm that is both computationally-efficient and yields significantly better performance at smaller memory sizes; we validate this approach on classic reinforcement learning environments and Atari games.
In this paper, the echo state network (ESN) memory capacity, which represents the amount of input data an ESN can store, is analyzed for a new type of deep ESNs. In particular, two deep ESN architectures are studied. First, a parallel deep ESN is proposed in which multiple reservoirs are connected in parallel allowing them to average outputs of multiple ESNs, thus decreasing the prediction error. Then, a series architecture ESN is proposed in which ESN reservoirs are placed in cascade that the output of each ESN is the input of the next ESN in the series. This series ESN architecture can capture more features between the input sequence and the output sequence thus improving the overall prediction accuracy. Fundamental analysis shows that the memory capacity of parallel ESNs is equivalent to that of a traditional shallow ESN, while the memory capacity of series ESNs is smaller than that of a traditional shallow ESN.In terms of normalized root mean square error, simulation results show that the parallel deep ESN achieves 38.5% reduction compared to the traditional shallow ESN while the series deep ESN achieves 16.8% reduction.
Natural memories are associative, declarative and distributed. Symbolic computing memories resemble natural memories in their declarative character, and information can be stored and recovered explicitly; however, they lack the associative and distributed properties of natural memories. Sub-symbolic memories developed within the connectionist or artificial neural networks paradigm are associative and distributed, but are unable to express symbolic structure and information cannot be stored and retrieved explicitly; hence, they lack the declarative property. To address this dilemma, we use Relational-Indeterminate Computing to model associative memory registers that hold distributed representations of individual objects. This mode of computing has an intrinsic computing entropy which measures the indeterminacy of representations. This parameter determines the operational characteristics of the memory. Associative registers are embedded in an architecture that maps concrete images expressed in modality-specific buffers into abstract representations, and vice versa, and the memory system as a whole fulfills the three properties of natural memories. The system has been used to model a visual memory holding the representations of hand-written digits, and recognition and recall experiments show that there is a range of entropy values, not too low and not too high, in which associative memory registers have a satisfactory performance. The similarity between the cue and the object recovered in memory retrieve operations depends on the entropy of the memory register holding the representation of the corresponding object. The experiments were implemented in a simulation using a standard computer, but a parallel architecture may be built where the memory operations would take a very reduced number of computing steps.
