Towards binary encoding in Bidirectional Associative Memories

Bidirectional Associative Memories (BAMs) are Artificial Neural Networks frequently utilized in cognitive modeling.While bipolar encoding is commonly used in BAMs for optimal performance, binary encoding presents interesting properties.As such, this study introduces a novel transmission function for binary encoding and compares its performance to t
