Computer science or computing science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems...
, genetic memory refers to an artificial neural network
Artificial neural network
An artificial neural network , usually called neural network , is a mathematical model or computational model that is inspired by the structure and/or functional aspects of biological neural networks. A neural network consists of an interconnected group of artificial neurons, and it processes...
combination of genetic algorithm
Genetic algorithm
A genetic algorithm is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural evolution. This heuristic is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems...
and the mathematical model of sparse distributed memory
Sparse distributed memory
Sparse distributed memory is a mathematical model of human long-term memory that was introduced by Pentti Kanerva in 1988. It is used for storing and retrieving large amounts of information without focusing on the accuracy of the information. It uses patterns to serve as memory addresses, where...
