• Abstract summary: The Hopfield model provides a mathematically idealized yet insightful framework for understanding the mechanisms of memory storage and retrieval in the human brain. We propose a novel system framework in which the external input directly influences the neural synapses and shapes the energy landscape of the Hopfield model. This plasticity-based mechanism provides a clear energetic interpretation of the memory retrieval process and proves effective at correctly classifying highly mixed inputs.

• Abstract: The Hopfield model provides a mathematically idealized yet insightful framework for understanding the mechanisms of memory storage and retrieval in the human brain. This model has inspired four decades of extensive research on learning and retrieval dynamics, capacity estimates, and sequential transitions among memories. Notably, the role and impact of external inputs has been largely underexplored, from their effects on neural dynamics to how they facilitate effective memory retrieval. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel dynamical system framework in which the external input directly influences the neural synapses and shapes the energy landscape of the Hopfield model. This plasticity-based mechanism provides a clear energetic interpretation of the memory retrieval process and proves effective at correctly classifying highly mixed inputs. Furthermore, we integrate this model within the framework of modern Hopfield architectures, using this connection to elucidate how current and past information are combined during the retrieval process. Finally, we embed both the classic and the new model in an environment disrupted by noise and compare their robustness during memory retrieval.

  We present a physiologically inspired speech recognition architecture compatible and scalable with deep learning frameworks. We show end-to-end gradient descent training leads to the emergence of neural oscillations in the central spiking neural network. Our findings highlight the crucial inhibitory role of feedback mechanisms, such as spike frequency adaptation and recurrent connections, in regulating and synchronising neural activity to improve recognition performance.

  We propose Neural Interaction Inference with Potentials (NIIP) as an alternative approach to discover such interactions. NIIP assigns low energy to the subset of trajectories which respect the relational constraints observed. It allows trajectory manipulation, such as interchanging interaction types across separately trained models, as well as trajectory forecasting.

• In search of dispersed memories: Generative diffusion models are associative memory networks [6.4322891559626125]
  Generative diffusion models are a type of generative machine learning techniques that have shown great performance in many tasks. We show that generative diffusion models can be interpreted as energy-based models and that, when trained on discrete patterns, their energy function is identical to that of modern Hopfield networks. This equivalence allows us to interpret the supervised training of diffusion models as a synaptic learning process that encodes the associative dynamics of a modern Hopfield network in the weight structure of a deep neural network.
