Lecturer	"About the influence that the network structure gives ‐ towards the application of a complex network. "
Speaker	Dr. Yukari Yamauchi （Visiting Associate Professor of Information Science, ICU)
Abstracts	'Complex Networks' is the general term of the networks that have complicated and heterogeneous structures. The term 'complex' is used in contrast to 'simple', 'symmetric' or 'homogeneous'. These terms represents not complex structures treated in conventional graph theory. Complex Network has its research history for more than fifty years in Social Science. However it became widespread in many research areas that investigate network structures and interactions in each element since the introductions of two important types of networks: 'Small world' network by Watts and Strogats in 1998 and 'Scale free' network by Barabasi and Albert in 1999. In this talk, first, I would like to introduce how these concept and techniques are increasingly being applied to the analysis of human brain. Then I would like to introduce applications of 'complex networks' in neural networks. A model of associative memory based on Hopfield neural network with complex network structure is analyzed in detail. The effects of network structure is discussed and evaluated based on network performance measures as the capacity of stored patterns.
