Learning and Intelligence:
Models of Learning (in both humans and machines):
Perceptual Organization (signal/symbol transformations in
visual and auditory understanding)
Language Acquisition (Human and Artificial)
Computational models for scientific discovery, invention,
creativity (esp computer music composition), and cultural evolution
Computational models of the evolution of consciousness
Computer Architecture (novel implementations of intelligent entities
using innovative artifacts):
New languages and machine models (dataflow, message-passing,
object-oriented, non-procedural, functional, etc)
New models for intelligent machines (adaptive architectures,
dynamic reconfiguration, HLL machines, etc)
Intelligent processing based on new physical principles and new
fabrication techniques:
Acousto-optical and other analog signal processing techniques
Extremely high bandwidth optical communication systems for
massively-interconnected parallel processors
Adaptive routing strategies for wafer-scale integration
Design strategies for extremely complex systems (automated
VLSI design and layout, circuit testing, and program debugging)
Related areas of interest (but not prime areas of competence):
Operating Systems, Language Processors, and other "Systems Programming"
Formal models of computation (Automata Theory, Formal Logic, etc)
Neurophysiological models for intelligent processing
Pattern recognition, especially as applied to automated EEG
interpretation
Topological studies of dynamical systems (qualitative dynamics,
optimal and distributed control, multilevel systems, etc)
Nonlinear network theory
Communication theory, data compression, signal coding, digital signal
processing, time-series analysis and estimation theory
Corporate law and venture organization
