RAM BASED NEURAL NETWORKS, A SHORT HISTORY

This chapter describes the interrelationship between the different types of RAM based neural networks. From their origins in the N tuple networks of Bledsoe and Browning it describes how each network architecture differs and the basic function of each. It discusses the MRD, ADAM, AURA, PLN, pRAM, GSN and TIN architectures. As such, the chapter introduces many of the networks discussed later in the book.
