“…This model, also referred to as the GB model or clustered cliques networks (CCNs), is fundamental in information theory (Gripon & Berrou, 2012) and bears similarity to the Willshaw-type model (Willshaw, Buneman, & Longuet-Higgins, 1969), where sparse patterns and binary connections are considered. These models have been further developed in the literature (Aliabadi, Berrou, Gripon, & Jiang, 2014;Boguslawski, Gripon, Seguin, & Heitzmann, 2014;Jarollahi, Onizawa, Gripon, & Gross, 2014;Jarollahi, Gripon, Onizawa, & Gross, 2015;Jiang, Marques, Kirsch, & Berrou, 2015;Jiang, Gripon, Berrou, & Rabbat, 2016;Mofrad, Ferdosi, Parker, & Tadayon, 2015;Mofrad, Parker, Ferdosi, & Tadayon, 2016;Mofrad & Parker, 2017;Berrou & Kim-Dufor, 2018) and used in many applications, such as solving feature correspondence problems (Aboudib, Gripon, & Coppin, 2016), devising low-power, contentaddressable memory (Jarollahi et al, 2015), oriented edge detection in image (Danilo et al, 2015), image classification with convolutional neural networks (Hacene, Gripon, Farrugia, Arzel, & Jezequel, 2019), and finding all matches of a probe in a database (Hacene, Gripon, Farrugia, Arzel, & Jezequel, 2017), to mention a few. Furthermore, they were implemented on a general-purpose graphical processing unit (GPU) (Yao, Gripon, & Rabbat, 2014), in 65-nm CMOS (Larras, Chollet, Lahuec, Seguin, & Arzel, 2018), and in distributed smart sensor architectures (Larras & Frappé, 2020).…”
