Distance-based spatial representation and prediction systems, methods and computer program products for associative memories
First Claim
1. A method of predicting a location of a missing object based on a plurality of past sightings of a plurality of objects including the missing object and a new sighting of the plurality of objects except for the missing object, comprising:
- for a respective given object in the plurality of objects, memorizing the plurality of past sightings based on respective distances of respective remaining objects from the respective given object;
for a respective given object in the plurality of objects except for the missing object, predicting a distance of the missing object from the respective given object based on the past sightings that have been memorized and the new sighting, to obtain a plurality of candidate locations for the missing object; and
processing the candidate locations to predict the location of the missing object.

Abstract
A location of a missing object is predicted based on past sightings of objects including the missing object, and a new sighting of the objects except for the missing object. For a respective given object in the objects, the past sightings are memorized based on respective distances of respective remaining objects from the respective given object. Distance-based memorization may take place using an agent or associative memory for a respective given object. Then, for a respective given object, except for the missing object, a distance of the missing object from the respective given object is predicted, based on the past sightings that have been memorized and the new sighting, to obtain candidate locations for the missing object. The candidate locations are then disambiguated, to predict the location of the missing object.

9. A system of predicting a location of a missing object based on a plurality of past sightings of a plurality of objects including the missing object and a new sighting of the plurality of objects except for the missing object, comprising:
-
a plurality of associative memories, a respective one of which is configured to memorize the plurality of past sightings from a perspective of a respective given object in the plurality of objects, based on respective distances of respective remaining objects from the respective given object, a respective associative memory also being configured to predict a distance of the missing object from the respective given object based on the past sightings that have been memorized and the new sighting, and thereby obtain a plurality of candidate locations for the missing object; and
means for processing the candidate locations to predict the location of the missing object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 14)

15. A method of predicting a location of a missing object based on a plurality of past sightings of a plurality of objects including the missing object and a new sighting of the plurality of objects except for the missing object, comprising:
-
configuring a respective one of a plurality of associative memories to memorize the plurality of past sightings from a perspective of a respective given object in the plurality of objects, based on respective distances of respective remaining objects from the respective given object;
configuring a respective one of the plurality of associative memories to predict a distance of the missing object from the respective given object based on the past sightings that have been memorized and the new sighting, and thereby obtain a plurality of candidate locations for the missing object; and
processing the candidate locations to predict the location of the missing object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
