Abstract

In this paper, the authors discuss a new synthesis approach to train associative memories, based on recurrent neural networks. They propose to use soft margin training for associative memories, which is efficient when training patterns are not all linearly separable. On the basis of the soft margin algorithm used to train support vector machines, the new algorithm is developed in order to improve the obtained results via optimal training algorithm also innovated by the authors, which are not fully satisfactory due to that some times the training patterns are not all linearly separable. This new algorithm is used for the synthesis of an associative memory implemented by a recurrent neural network with the connection matrix having upper bounds on the diagonal elements to reduce the total number of spurious memory. The scheme is evaluated via a full scale simulator to diagnose the main faults occurred in fossil electric power plants and taking into account three different cases.
