View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: These all are desirable characteristics of associative memories.

9. What is the objective of BAM?
a) to store pattern pairs
b) to recall pattern pairs
c) to store a set of pattern pairs and they can be recalled by giving either of pattern as input
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The objective of BAM i.e Bidirectional Associative Memory, is to store a set of pattern pairs and they can be recalled by giving either of pattern as input.
