BIRA (Belgian Institute for Control Engineering and Automation) is
organising a seminar on the state of the art in Neural Networks. The
central theme will be "When and how will neural networks become applicable
for industry". To be able to give a good and reliable verdict to this
theme, some of the most important and leading scientists in this fasci-
nating area have been invited to present a lecture at the seminar and take
part in a panel discussion.
The following schedule is foreseen:
8.30 - 9.00 Registration
9.00 - 9.15 Opening on behalf of BIRA
Prof. L. Boullart, Ghent State University
9.15 - 10.00 Learning Algorithms and applications in A.I.
Prof. Fogelman Soulie, Universite de Paris V
10.00 - 10.30 coffee
10.30 - 11.30 The Neural Network Framework
Prof. B. Kosko, University of Southern California
11.30 - 12.00 Presentation of ANZA+ products, hardware and software
Patrick Dumont, Digilog, France
12.00 - 14.00 lunch / exhibition
14.00 - 15.00 Integration of knowledge-based system and neural network
techniques for robotic control
Dr. David Handelman, Princeton, USA
15.00 - 16.00 Application in Image Processing and Pattern Recognition
(Neocognitron)
Dr. S. Miyake, ATR, Japan
16.00 - 16.30 tea
16.30 - 17.15 panel discussion over the central theme
17.15 - 17.30 closing and conclusions
The seminar will be held in the same period as the famous Flanders
Technology International (F.T.I.) exhibition is held. This exhibition is
for both representatives from industry and for other interested people very
interesting and going to both the seminar and the exhibition is double
interesting. It is possible to obtain a ticket for F.T.I. at a reduced
price, when attending the seminar. Please indicate, whether you would like
to get a ticket, when sending in a letter or an e-mail message.
Prices:
members of BIRA : 12.500 BEF
others : 15.000 BEF
universities : 7.500 BEF
If you intent to attent our seminar, you can either send a letter to the
BIRA coordinator (adress follows) or an e-mail message to one of us. We will
