---------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 2 Feb 89 13:52:25 EST From: jose@tractatus.bellcore.com (Stephen J Hanson) CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems - Natural and Synthetic - Monday, November 27 -- Thursday November 30, 1989 Denver, Colorado This is the third meeting of a high quality, relatively small, inter-disciplinary conference which brings together neuroscientists, engineers, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and mathematicians interested in all aspects of neural processing and computation. Several days of focussed workshops will follow at a nearby ski area. Major categories and examples of subcategories for papers are the following: 1. Neuroscience: Neurobiological models of development, cellular information processing, synaptic function, learning, and memory. Studies and analyses of neurobiological systems and development of neurophysiological recording tools. 2. Architecture Design: Design and evaluation of net architectures to perform cognitive or behavioral functions and to implement conventional algorithms. Data representation; static networks and dynamic networks that can process or generate pattern sequences. 3. Learning Theory Models of learning; training paradigms for static and dynamic networks; analysis of capability, generalization, complexity, and scaling. 4. Applications: Applications to signal processing, vision, speech, motor control, robotics, knowledge representation, cognitive modelling and adaptive systems. 5. Implementation and Simulation: VLSI or optical implementations of hardware neural nets. Practical issues for simulations and simulation tools. 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 refereed by experts in the respective disciplines. Authors should submit four copies of a 1000-word (or less) summary and four copies of a single-page 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their results by May 30, 1989. Indicate preference for oral or poster presentation and specify which of the above five broad categories and, if appropriate, sub- categories (for example, Learning Theory: Complexity, or Applications: Speech) best applies to your paper. Indicate presentation preference and category information at the bottom of each abstract page and after each summary. Failure to do so will delay processing of your submission. Mail submissions to Kathy Hibbard, NIPS89 Local Committee, Engineering Center, Campus Box 425, Boulder, CO, 80309-0425. DEADLINE FOR SUMMARIES ABSTRACTS IS MAY 30, 1989 --------------------------------
