Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for encoding one sequence of items, out of a plurality of similar sequences of items, in a distributed representation (DR), the method comprising: (1) from a plurality of representation units, activating and associating a selected subset of representation units upon presentation of the first item of the sequence of items to generate a plurality of active representation units associated with the first item; (2) upon presentation of the next item of the sequence of items, deactivating and disassociating a subset of active representation units; and, (3) repeating step (2), for each successive item of the sequence of items presented (if any), wherein the method only deactivates and dissociates active representation units; and, wherein the remaining set of active representation units is the DR that encodes said one sequence of items.
