This paper analyzes the storage capacity of the associative memory
network (HASP). HASP is an associative memory network, which is
composed of the heteroassociative memory network using the correlation
matrix, and the mutually inhibitory network. The feature of the
network is that the one-to-many associations can be realized, which
has been difficult in the networks hitherto proposed. Because a
mutually inhibitory network can effectively eliminate the crosstalk
noise produced in the heteroassociative memory network, it is expected
that the storage capacity in the heteroassociative memory. In the
present study, a similar method is used to analyze and evaluate
theoretically the storage capacity of HASP. As a result, it is shown
that HASP can realize twice or larger storage capacity compared to the
heteroassociative memory networks, when the keys and the associative
vectors are sparsely encoded. It is verified that the result of the
analysis agrees well with the result of the computer simulations.
