In this work, we design a hybrid model in which a simple feed-forward network is coupled to a balanced random network via a read-write vector called the interface vector. Three cases and their results are discussed similar to the n-back task called, first-order memory binding task, generalized first-order memory task, and second-order memory binding task. The important result is that our dual-component model of working memory shows good performance with learning restricted to the feed-forward component only. Here we take advantage of the random network property without learning. Finally, a more complex memory binding task called, a cue-based memory binding task, is introduced in which a cue is given as input representing a binding relation that prompts the network to choose the useful chunk of memory. To our knowledge, this is the first time that random networks as a flexible memory is shown to play an important role in online binding tasks. We may interpret our results as a candidate model of working memory in which the feed-forward network learns to interact with the temporary storage random network as an attentional-controlling executive system.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.04208v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.04208v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"working-memory-for-online-memory-binding","repo_url":"https://github.com/adismmhonoredk/Working-Memory-for-Online-Memory-Binding-Tasks-A-Hybrid-Model","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
