CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems -Natural and Synthetic- Monday, November 26 - Thursday, November 29, 1990 Denver, Colorado This is the fourth meeting of an inter-disciplinary conference which brings together neuroscientists, engineers, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and mathematicians interested in all aspects of neural processing and computation. Two days of focused workshops will follow at a nearby ski area (Nov 30-Dec 1). Major categories and examples of subcategories for paper submissions are the following; Neuroscience: Neurobiological models of development, cellular information processing, synaptic function, learning and memory. Studies and analyses of neurobiological systems. Implementation and Simulation: Hardware implementation of neural nets. VLSI, Optical Computing, and practical issues for simulations and simulation tools. Algorithms and Architectures: Description and experimental evaluation of new net architectures or learning algorithms: data representations, static and dynamic nets, modularity, rapid training, learning pattern sequences, implementing conventional algorithms. Theory: Theoretical analysis of: learning, algorithms, generalization, complexity, scaling, capability, stability, dynamics, fault tolerance, sensitivity, relationship to conventional algorithms. Cognitive Science & AI: Cognitive models or simulations of natural language understanding, problem solving, language acquisition, reasoning, skill acquisition, perception, motor control, categorization, or concept formation. Applications: Neural Networks applied to signal processing, speech, vision, character recognition, motor control, robotics, adaptive systems tasks. Technical Program: Plenary, contributed and poster sessions will be held. There will be no parallel sessions. The full text of presented papers will be published. Submission Procedures: Original research contributions are solicited, and will be carefully refereed. Authors must submit six copies of both a 1000-word (or less) summary and six copies of a separate single-page 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their results by May 17, 1990. At the bottom of each abstract page and on the first summary page indicate preference for oral or poster presentation and specify one of the above six broad categories and, if appropriate, sub-categories (For example: POSTER-Applications: Speech, ORAL-Implementation: Analog VLSI). Include addresses of all authors at the front of the summary and the abstract and to which author correspondence should be addressed. Submissions will not be considered that lack category information, separate abstract sheets, the required six copies, author addresses or are late.
