Abstract
A neural network with a broad distribution of transmission delays was used to study numerically the retrieval of sequences having several types of correlations between successive patterns. In the case of sequences consisting of patterns correlated for finite time, the quality of retrieval was found to be (more or less) independent of the pattern correlation width and the delay distribution. On the other hand the quality of retrieval is dependent on these factors in the case of sequences with pattern correlation functions with long time ‘tails’. Finally we have studied to what extent the storage capacity depends on the pattern correlation function and the delay distribution.
