- - - - CALL FOR PAPERS I E E E Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems -- Natural and Synthetic -- Monday, November 28 -- Thursday, December 1, 1988 Denver, Colorado This will be the second meeting in a series. The November 1987 meeting, at the same location, brought together neurobiologists, cognitive psychologists, computer scientists, engineers and physicists. Several days of focussed workshops at a nearby ski resort followed. A similar mountain retreat is planned for this year. At the NIPS meeting, the topics we expect to cover include the following: Neurobiological models of development, cellular information processing, synaptic function, learning and memory. Connectionist models of learning and cognitive processing; training paradigms; analysis of applicability, generalization, and complexity. Applications to signal processing, vision, speech, motor control, knowledge engineering and adaptive systems. Practical issues in the simulation of neural networks. Advances in hardware technologies -- neurophysiological recording tools, VLSI or optical implementations of neural networks. 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. Contributed papers: Original research contributions are solicited, and will be rigorously refereed. Authors should submit six copies of a 500-word (or less) summary and one copy of a 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their results to the program committee chairman, Scott Kirkpatrick, IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, P.O. Box 704, Yorktown Heights, NY 10598. Deadline for papers is May 14, 1988. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I E E E Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems -- Natural and Synthetic -- Conference: November 28 - December 1, 1988 (Mon-Thurs) Sheraton Denver Tech Center, Denver, Colorado Workshops: December 1 - December 4, 1988 (Thurs-Sun) Summit County, Colorado Organizing committee: Terrence Sejnowski General Chairman Scott Kirkpatrick Program Chairman Clifford Lau Treasurer Jawad Salehi Publicity Chairman Kristina Johnson Local Arrangements Howard Wachtel Workshop Coordinator David Touretzky Publications Chairman Edward C.
