Associative memory in the Hopfield network is attractor dynamics in a disordered many-body system, and higher-order and exponential extensions turn its retrieval update into softmax attention. The pol...
The paper investigates associative memory in a bipartite Hopfield–Krotov architecture, termed class H, where hidden neurons serve as the retrieval order parameter. Using the replica method, it derives replica‑symmetric phase diagrams and closed‑form capacities for polynomial load, showing that crosstalk statistics are similar for Ising and spherical visible neurons. With a softmax hidden layer, the load becomes exponential, mapping the thermodynamics onto a random‑energy‑model that exhibits paramagnetic, condensed, and frozen phases, and revealing that heating destabilizes retrieval through quantized attention reassignments while Gaussian patterns remain metastable at all loads.

arXiv:2602. 14885v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) provide a theoretical framework for understanding computation in biological neural circuits, yet classical results, such as Hopfield's model of associative memory, rely on symmetric connectivity that restricts network dynamics to gradient-like flows.

The paper investigates when language diffusion models, specifically Uniform-based Discrete Diffusion Models (UDDMs), shift from memorizing training data to generalizing to new data. It shows that UDDMs act as associative memories, forming basins of attraction around stored examples without requiring an explicit energy function. By measuring token recovery and conditional entropy, the authors identify a sharp transition governed by training set size, where memorization (vanishing entropy) gives way to generalization (finite entropy).

We study the topology of learned representations in predictive coding networks (PCNs), a neuro-inspired bidirectional architecture, using a quantitative layer-wise persistent homology analysis. We train well-performing PCNs on a synthetic classification dataset ($\geq 99.
