A novel associative memory model based on semi-tensor product (STP)

A good intelligent learning model is the key to complete recognition of scene information and accurate recognition of specific targets in intelligent unmanned system. This study proposes a new associative memory model based on the semi-tensor product (STP) of matrices, to address the problems of information storage capacity and association. First, some preliminaries are introduced […]
