From ml-connectionists-request@q.cs.cmu.edu Wed May 1 01:47:07 1991 To: Connectionists@cs.cmu.edu Subject: Bi-monthly Reminder Sender: Connectionist.Research.Group@b.gp.cs.cmu.edu This is an automatically posted bi-monthly reminder about how the CONNECTIONISTS list works and how to access various online resources. CONNECTIONISTS is not an edited forum like the Neuron Digest, or a free-for-all newsgroup like comp.ai.neural-nets. It's somewhere in between, relying on the self-restraint of its subscribers. Membership in CONNECTIONISTS is restricted to persons actively involved in neural net research. The following posting guidelines are designed to reduce the amount of irrelevant messages sent to the list. Before you post, please remember that this list is distributed to over a thousand busy people who don't want their time wasted on trivia. Also, many subscribers pay cash for each kbyte; they shouldn't be forced to pay for junk mail. Happy hacking. -- Dave Touretzky & Scott Crowder --------------------------------------------------------------------- What to post to CONNECTIONISTS ------------------------------ - The list is primarily intended to support the discussion of technical issues relating to neural computation. - We encourage people to post the abstracts of their latest papers and tech reports. - Conferences and workshops may be announced on this list AT MOST twice: once to send out a call for papers, and once to remind non-authors about the registration deadline. A flood of repetitive announcements about the same conference is not welcome here. - Requests for ADDITIONAL references. This has been a particularly sensitive subject lately. Please try to (a) demonstrate that you have already pursued the quick, obvious routes to finding the information you desire, and (b) give people something back in return for bothering them. The easiest way to do both these things is to FIRST do the library work to find the basic references, then POST these as part of your query. Here's an example: WRONG WAY: "Can someone please mail me all references to cascade correlation?" RIGHT WAY: "I'm looking for references to work on cascade correlation. I've already read Fahlman's paper in NIPS 2, his NIPS 3 abstract, and found the code in the nn-bench archive. Is anyone aware of additional work with this algorithm? I'll summarize and post results to the list." - Announcements of job openings related to neural computation. - Short reviews of new text books related to neural computation. To send mail to everyone on the list, address it to Connectionists@CS.CMU.EDU ------------------------------------------------------------------- What NOT to post to CONNECTIONISTS: ----------------------------------- - Requests for addition to the list, change of address and other administrative matters should be sent to: "Connectionists-Request@cs.cmu.edu" (note the exact spelling: many "connectionists", one "request"). If you mention our mailing list to someone who may apply to be added to it, please make sure they use the above and NOT "Connectionists@cs.cmu.edu". - Requests for e-mail addresses of people who are believed to subscribe to CONNECTIONISTS should be sent to postmaster@appropriate-site. If the site address is unknown, send your request to Connectionists-Request@cs.cmu.edu and we'll do our best to help. A phone call to the appropriate institution may sometimes be simpler and faster. - Note that in many mail programs a reply to a message is automatically "CC"-ed to all the addresses on the "To" and "CC" lines of the original message. If the mailer you use has this property, please make sure your personal response (request for a Tech Report etc.) is NOT broadcast over the net. - Do NOT tell a friend about Connectionists@cs.cmu.edu. Tell him or her only about Connectionists-Request@cs.cmu.edu. This will save your friend from public embarrassment if she/he tries to subscribe. - Limericks should not be posted here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The CONNECTIONISTS Archive: --------------------------- All e-mail messages sent to "Connectionists@cs.cmu.edu" starting 27-Feb-88 are now available for public perusal. A separate file exists for each month. The files' names are: arch.yymm where yymm stand for the obvious thing. Thus the earliest available data are in the file: arch.8802 Files ending with .Z are compressed using the standard unix compress program. To browse through these files (as well as through other files, see below) you must FTP them to your local machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to FTP Files from the CONNECTIONISTS Archive ------------------------------------------------ 1. Open an FTP connection to host B.GP.CS.CMU.EDU (Internet address 128.2.242.8). 2. Login as user anonymous with password your username. 3. 'cd' directly to one of the following directories: /usr/connect/connectionists/archives /usr/connect/connectionists/bibliographies 4. The archives and bibliographies directories are the ONLY ones you can access. You can't even find out whether any other directories exist. If you are using the 'cd' command you must cd DIRECTLY into one of these two directories. Access will be denied to any others, including their parent directory. 5. The archives subdirectory contains back issues of the mailing list. Some bibliographies are in the bibliographies subdirectory. Problems? - contact us at "Connectionists-Request@cs.cmu.edu". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to FTP Files from the Neuroprose Archive -------------------------------------------- Anonymous FTP on cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu (128.146.8.62) pub/neuroprose directory This directory contains technical reports as a public service to the connectionist and neural network scientific community. Researchers may place electronic versions of their preprints or articles in this directory, announce availability, and other interested researchers can rapidly retrieve and print the postscripts. This saves copying, postage and handling, by having the interested reader supply the paper. To place a file, put it in the Inbox subdirectory, and send mail to pollack@cis.ohio-state.edu. Within a couple of days, I will move and protect it, and suggest a different name if necessary. Current naming convention is author.title.filetype[.Z] where title is enough to discriminate among the files of the same author. The filetype is usually "ps" for postscript, our desired universal printing format, but may be tex, which requires more local software than a spooler. Very large files (e.g. over 200k) must be squashed (with either a sigmoid function :) or the standard unix "compress" utility, which results in the .Z affix. To place or retrieve .Z files, make sure to issue the FTP command "BINARY" before transfering files. After retrieval, call the standard unix "uncompress" utility, which removes the .Z affix. An example of placing a file is attached as an appendix, and a shell script called Getps in the directory can perform the necessary retrival operations. For further questions contact: Jordan Pollack Email: pollack@cis.ohio-state.edu Here is an example of naming and placing a file: gvax> cp i-was-right.txt.ps rosenblatt.reborn.ps gvax> compress rosenblatt.reborn.ps gvax> ftp cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu Connected to cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu. 220 cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu FTP server ready. Name: anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send ident as password. Password:neuron 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. ftp> binary 200 Type set to I. ftp> cd pub/neuroprose/Inbox 250 CWD command successful. ftp> put rosenblatt.reborn.ps.Z 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for rosenblatt.reborn.ps.Z 226 Transfer complete. 100000 bytes sent in 3.14159 seconds ftp> quit 221 Goodbye. gvax> mail pollack@cis.ohio-state.edu Subject: file in Inbox. Jordan, I just placed the file rosenblatt.reborn.ps.Z in the Inbox. The INDEX sentence is "Boastful statements by the deceased leader of the neurocomputing field." Please let me know when it is ready to announce to Connectionists@cmu. BTW, I enjoyed reading your review of the new edition of Perceptrons! Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How to FTP Files from the NN-Bench Collection --------------------------------------------- 1. Create an FTP connection from wherever you are to machine "pt.cs.cmu.edu" (128.2.254.155). 2. Log in as user "anonymous" with password your username. 3. Change remote directory to "/afs/cs/project/connect/bench". Any subdirectories of this one should also be accessible. Parent directories should not be. 4. At this point FTP should be able to get a listing of files in this directory and fetch the ones you want. Problems? - contact us at "nn-bench-request@cs.cmu.edu".
