Hello,

I'm a lecturer in the School of Electronic Engineering here in
NIHED in Dublin, and I'll shortly be embarking on research for a PhD.
I am interested in Machine Learning, particularly with a
minimal knowledge base and/or using "darwinian"/genetic type mechanisms.

I'd appreciate hearing from people working in this area
(especially, but not exclusively, in Ireland or the UK). As a
quid pro quo, I have just completed an internal research report,
reviewing some work on adaptive classifier systems (Holland et al)
and neuronal group selection (Reeke & Edelman); I won't post it because
its rather long, but I'll happily e-mail it to anyone who's
interested.

Thanks,

Barry McMullin
