A new learning rule and theoretical analysis of an extended bidirectional associative memory network(MLBAM)are presented by using the maximum likelihood criterion based on two well recognized and essential criteria
i.e.
the convergence of the learning rule
and the noise tolerance of the network. Traditional methods fail to distinguish highly closing patterns. However
this disadvantage is improved by using the newly developed method
since the maximum likelihood method is used to seek the best possible closing mapping of two patterns. Experiments are made to verify the validity and efficiency of the proposed method. The method displays excellent anti-noise property and MLBAM network exhibits association at a 100% accuracy under one-bit inversion which implies that 100% of the one-bit errors is corrected.
