Incremental face recognition using rehearsal and recall processes

Most of the machine learning algorithms particularly suffer from the plasticity-stability dilemma. In this paper, we propose a model that adopts two types of memories i.e. short-term memory (STM) and long-term memory (LTM), which share their information through control processes called rehearsal and recall to alleviate the dilemma. In addition, the proposed model tries to integrate the advantages of generative and discriminative classifiers by employing them in STM and LTM respectively. Experimental results show the importance of rehearsal and recall process in improving the performance of the algorithm.
