用非结合代数构建记忆状态,能无损保留序列时序信息。

'Memory States' from Almost Nothing: Representing and Computing in a Non-associative Algebra

  • 通过非结合捆绑实现无序丢失的序列编码
  • 两种记忆态(左/右)分别模拟近因与首因效应
  • 可复现认知实验中的序列位置曲线,适合神经机制研究

本文提出一种非结合代数框架,用于高维空间中信息项的表示与计算。该框架契合空间计算原理和认知科学中关于记忆的实证发现。计算通过类乘法绑定与类干扰式非结合捆绑完成。传统关联捆绑模型会丢失顺序信息,需额外位置标记来表征序列;而本方法可构建任意长度序列的稀疏表示,且保持其时间结构。噪声在其中是顺序信息的构成要素,而非干扰。非结合特性导致单个序列对应两个不同状态:左态(L-state)经左结合捆绑持续更新,体现近期效应;右态(R-state)经右结合捆绑编码有限序列或组块,反映首因效应。这两种状态可能对应前额叶皮层对短期记忆的处理与海马体对长期记忆的编码。检索准确率取决于记忆态与线索间的互信息。该模型可复现序列位置曲线,反映认知实验中的近因与首因效应。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This note presents a non-associative algebraic framework for the representation and computation of information items in high-dimensional space. This framework is consistent with the principles of spatial computing and with the empirical findings in cognitive science about memory. Computations are performed through a process of multiplication-like binding and non-associative interference-like bundling. Models that rely on associative bundling typically lose order information, which necessitates the use of auxiliary order structures, such as position markers, to represent sequential information that is important for cognitive tasks. In contrast, the non-associative bundling proposed allows the construction of sparse representations of arbitrarily long sequences that maintain their temporal structure across arbitrary lengths. In this operation, noise is a constituent element of the representation of order information, rather than a means of obscuring it. The non-associative nature of the proposed framework results in the representation of a single sequence by two distinct states. The L-state, generated through left-associative bundling, continuously updates and emphasises a recency effect, while the R-state, formed through right-associative bundling, encodes finite sequences or chunks, capturing a primacy effect. The construction of these states may be associated with activity in the prefrontal cortex in relation to short-term memory and hippocampal encoding in long-term memory, respectively. The accuracy of retrieval is contingent upon a decision-making process that is based on the mutual information between the memory states and the cue. The model is able to replicate the Serial Position Curve, which reflects the empirical recency and primacy effects observed in cognitive experiments.
