How best should learning mechanisms store and retrieve memories? Important in reinforcement learnt Implicit in recurrent networks. One of the chief advantages of neural Turing machines. A great apparent success of transformers.

But, as my colleague Tom Blau points out, perhaps best considered as a topic in its owen right.
