-
- Several papers on SDM have been published in the last couple of years.
- I have appended a list of such papers that I have been able to trace.
-
- We have done some work with Sparse Distributed Memory (SDM) recently.
- Our work concentrated on modifying the SDM with the help of a genetic
- algorithm (GA). David Rogers had earlier shown that a GA can be used
- to optimize the "location address space" in an SDM (which corresponds
- to the mapping from the input layer to the hidden units in a neural
- network). We have further extended this method, and have obtained
- improved performance. The results of our work, "Genetic Sparse
- Distributed Memory," has been published in IJCNN-COGANN (Combination
- of Genetic Algorithm and Neural Networks), 1992.
