DUDZIAK@isnet.inmos.COM (INMOS/ST Neurocomputer Lab) (02/10/90)
Two announcements:
(1) Proposal for New List / Request for Moderator
I would like to establish a new list focusing on transputer-based
neurocomputing research and applications. From my perspective there is
enough interest and activity in this area to merit a list on its own.
However, while I am perfectly willing to moderate and coordinate this
list, I am not physically located at a network site and have only a 2400
baud link to the machine which serves as the INMOS USA network site.
Is there anyone who would like to moderate this list? The situation will
hopefully change within a year, but with the volume of activity in this
area I would like to get things moving.
This is my description of the proposed news list NEURTRAN:
Purpose: neurtran is focused upon the development of neural network
architectures using transputers and transputer-based hardware platforms,
including ASIC transputers and transputer modules (trams). Discussion is
unmoderated and open to all facets of discussion. Submissions should be
on a non-proprietary nature. Welcome topics for submission include:
- on-going R&D, including applications and products
- parallelization of neural algorithms
- integrating neural and symbolic AI processes/programs
- transputers and specialized neural chips
- ASIC transputer designs for neural applications
Interested parties please respond to dudziak@isnet.inmos.com or use
voice/fax as indicated below.
(2) Establishment of information clearinghouse on same subject, via my
personal email address (dudziak@isnet.inmos.com).
For those wanting more individualized discussion/problem-solving on
these topics, and for all other interested parties until the above
mail list is in place, anyone should feel free to make contact with me
through my personal address. In my present capacity of directing
neurocomputing R&D and application efforts within INMOS (maker of the
transputer, surprise, surprise), I have been running an informal
'clearinghouse' of sorts for some time. I realize that while a mail list
will serve nicely for a lot of info exchange, there seems to be a need
for more personal tech/theory dialogue. I would like people 'out there'
to know that they can call on me and through me reach other people,
resources, & references that I know about pertaining to research on these
topics.
