Recently, Watts and Strogatz have proposed the “small-world architecture”(SWA), which provides us an interesting approach to address this issue.

This thesis mainly focuses on a small-world architecture based kernel auto-associative memory framework and its applications on small scale face recognition, specifically including how to construct a unified framework of conventional auto-associative memory models, how to reduce complexity of fully-connected models and the unified framework’s application on face recognition.

Based on above theoretical analysis,the new model breaks the traditional mean of random rewiring but instead constructs a task-based net-work structure,which is much closer to human brain while possessing small-world architecture and can also achieve better performance than the existing counterparts of the same class.
