<p>Input values are digitally represented (10) and the bits used to address memories (12). A composite (e.g. the sum) of the memory outputs is formed, and update control (13) is used during ''learning'' to modify the memory contents. The digital representation is formed by an encoder (14) which encodes input values using a redundant code, which preferably has a Hamming distance to signal distance relationship which has a relatively steep initial slope and is closer to being monotonic than is the relationship for a simple binary code.</p> |
