New framework analyzes free energy landscape of dense associative memories

Researchers have developed a new analytical framework using large deviations theory to derive a general expression for the free energy functional of associative memories, including dense associative memories. This method reproduces classical results for Hopfield models and provides a temperature-dependent free energy functional for dense associative memories with polynomial interactions and Log-Sum-Exponential activation. The framework also evaluates the disorder-averaged ground-state energy and reveals how memory retrieval depends on the initial state in higher-order dense networks, establishing the exact full-retrieval threshold for the LSE model.
