Location-Based Addressing Examples

In location-based addressing, we can retrieve a complete vector-valued memory using the location of the content in the memory.

Memory networks were first introduced because neural networks lacked a working memory. They have a set of memory cells that can be easily accessed via an addressing mechanism.

Deep Learning

In content-based addressing, the weight used to read or write from a cell is a function of that cell. Using this, we can retrieve a complete vector-valued memory if we are able to produce a pattern that matches some but not all of its elements.
