THE 1988 CONNECTIONIST MODELS SUMMER SCHOOL ORGANIZER: David Touretzky ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Geoffrey Hinton, Terrence Sejnowski SPONSORS: The Sloan Foundation; AAAI; others to be announced. DATES: June 17-26, 1988 PLACE: Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania PROGRAM: The summer school program is designed to introduce young neural network researchers to the latest developments in the field. There will be sessions on learning, theoretical analysis, connectionist symbol processing, speech recognition, language understanding, brain structure, and neuromorphic computer architectures. Students will have the opportunity to informally present their own research and to interact closely with some of the leaders of the field. PARTIAL LIST OF FACULTY: Yaser Abu-Mostafa (Caltech) James McClelland (Carnegie Mellon) Dana Ballard (Rochester) David Rumelhart (Stanford) Andrew Barto (U. Mass.) Terrence Sejnowski (Johns Hopkins) Gail Carpenter (Boston U.) Paul Smolensky (UC Boulder) Scott Fahlman (Carnegie Mellon) David Tank (AT&T Bell Labs) Geoffrey Hinton (Toronto) David Touretzky (Carnegie Mellon) George Lakoff (Berkeley) Alex Waibel (ATR International) Yann Le Cun (Toronto) others to be announced EXPENSES: Students are responsible for their meals and travel expenses, although some travel assistance may be available. Free dormitory space will be provided. There is no tuition charge. WHO SHOULD APPLY: The summer school's goal is to assist young researchers who have chosen to work in the area of neural computation. Participation is limited to graduate students (masters or doctoral level) who are actively involved in some aspect of neural network research. Persons who have already completed the Ph.D. are not eligible. Applicants who are not full time students will still be considered, provided that they are enrolled in a doctoral degree program. A total of 50 students will be accepted. HOW TO APPLY: By March 1, 1988, send your curriculum vitae and a copy of one relevant paper, technical report, or research proposal to: Dr. David Touretzky, Computer Science Department, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, 15213. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by April 15, 1988. -------
