Abstract

An associative memory AM is a special kind of neural network that allows recalling one output pattern given an input pattern as a key that might be altered by some kind of noise (additive, subtractive or mixed). Most of these models have several constraints that limit their applicability in complex problems such as face recognition (FR) and 3D object recognition (3DOR). Despite of the power of these approaches, they cannot reach their full power without applying new mechanisms based on current and future study of biological neural networks. In this direction, we would like to present a brief summary concerning a new associative model based on some neurobiological aspects of human brain. In addition, we would like to describe how this dynamic associative memory (DAM), combined with some aspects of infant vision system, could be applied to solve some of the most important problems of pattern recognition: FR and 3DOR.
