This paper introduces a neural network model that learns multiple attributes as images and performs associated, sequential recall of the learned memories. Briefly, the model presented here is an associative memory model that extends previous models [1] by increasing the number of attributes. In the real world, memory recall generates a chain of associations consisting of complex and diverse data with meaningful relations. However, because this experimental system is designed to implement and verify the processing operations behind such operations, we believe it is not a problem if the associative memory (i.e., the chain of data) is composed of attributes that do not necessarily have clear relation with each other. Accordingly, the attribute-processing systems prepared in this study consist of five types: the C.CB-RN system for processing color attributes, the S.CB-RN system for shape attributes, and the V.CB-RN system for size attributes, as adopted in our previous paper [1], as well as the SV.CB-RN system for processing the names of the world's most beautiful scenery (spectacular view names) and the CN.CB-RN system for processing constellation names. As before, the data presented to each CB-RN system are represented as image patterns using QR codes [2]. These five types of CB-RN systems will be combined and trained with QR code pattern images of the attribute elements of each system. After that, when a pattern image of an attribute element is presented to any of the CB-RN systems, a mechanism will be constructed in which a chain (associative) recall of pattern images of related attribute elements in the other trained systems will be generated.
