The Hopfield model of associative memories is reconsidered in terms of patt
ern recognition in presence of noise. A learning rule for the investigated
model is deduced. With the obtained learning rule the storing capacity of H
opfield neuronal network is increased from alpha congruent to 0.14 to the o
ptimal value alpha = 1. The pattern recognition capabilities of the model i
ncrease exponentially with the dimensionality of the patterns.
