Solvable models of working memories
Marc Mézard, Jean‐Pierre Nadal, G. Toulouse · Journal de physique · 1986
We consider a family of models, which generalizes the Hopfield model of neural networks, and can be solved likewise. This family contains palimpsestic schemes, which give memories that behave in a similar way as a working (short-term) memory. The replica method leads to a simple formalism that allows for a detailed comparison between various schemes, and the study of various effects, such as repetitive learning.
