The process in artificial intelligence is similar to the process that occurs in the human brain. The pattern recognition process is to determine whether the input and output values ​​are the same so that the system can detect the pattern. A reciprocal relationship between the input and output levels is made possible by the two interconnected layers of the Bidirectional Associative Memory (BAM) technique. As a result, this technique can serve as an associative memory, meaning that some of the data stored in it can be called upon.. The load signal is transmitted from the input layer X to the output layer Y in this procedure. The weight value will be modified by computing the outcomes between the ranks [1,0]. In this work, the active sigmoid function is employed. Three input characters—the letters S, O, and X—are used in this study's 5x5 order matrix. A pattern [27 4] that matches the target is produced by the target letter S [1,-1], a pattern [27 -3] that does not match the target is produced by the target letter O [1.1], and a pattern [-37 21] that matches the target is produced by the target letter X [-1,1]. Consequently, not all patterns are able to meet the established objectives.
