This idea goes back to "sparse distributed memory" developed by NASA research in the 80s. It's a content-addressable memory where content hashes are encoded & decoded by neural network and similar items are in proximity to each other in the embedding space, and similarity measured via Hamming distance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_distributed_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_distributed_memory
