A multilayered bidirectional associative memory model for learning nonlinear tasks.

A multilayered bidirectional associative memory neural network is proposed to account for learning nonlinear types of association. The model (denoted as the MF-BAM) is composed of two modules, the Multi-Feature extracting bidirectional associative memory (MF), which contains various unsupervised network layers, and a modified Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM), which consists of a single supervised network layer. The MF generates successive feature patterns from the original inputs.
