DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO SEMINAR ACTIVITIES SCIENTIFIC COMPUTATION SEMINAR -Thursday, October 5, 1989 Sanzheng Qiao, Communications Research Laboratory, McMaster University, will speak on ``An Adaptive Algorithm and Parallel Architecture for Linear Associative Memory Problem'' TIME: 3:30 p.m. ROOM: DC 1304 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Neural networks have become popular since they can be ``trained'' to perform complex tasks and they are suitable for massively parallel computing. The linear associative memory problem is to find a weight matrix after the memory has been exposed to pairs of associated input and output patterns. This model can then be used to ``recall'' memory from an input. This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for computing the weight matrix. A parallel implementation on a Warp systolic computer shows the actual speedup.
