contents While Hopfield networks are known as paradigmatic models for memory storage and retrieval, modern artificial intelligence systems mainly stand on the machine learning paradigm. We show that it is possible to formulate a teacher-student self-supervised learning problem with Boltzmann machines in terms of a suitable generalization of the Hopfield model with structured patterns, where the spin variables are the machine weights and patterns correspond to the training set's examples. We analyze the learning performance by studying the phase diagram in terms of the training set size, the dataset noise and the inference temperature (i.e. the weight regularization). With a small but informative dataset the machine can learn by memorization. With a noisy dataset, an extensive number of examples above a critical threshold is needed. In this regime the memory storage limits of the system becomes an opportunity for the occurrence of a learning regime in which the system can generalize.
