CALL FOR PAPERS
Neural Information Processing Systems
-Natural and Synthetic-
Monday, December 2 - Thursday, December 5, 1991
Denver, Colorado
This is the fifth meeting of an inter-disciplinary conference
which brings together neuroscientists, engineers, computer
scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and mathematicians
interested in all aspects of neural processing and computation.
There will be an afternoon of tutorial presentations (Dec 2)
preceding the regular session and two days of focused workshops
will follow at a nearby ski area (Dec 6-7). Major categories and
examples of subcategories for paper submissions are the
following;
Neuroscience: Studies and Analyses of Neurobiological
Systems, Inhibition in cortical circuits, Signals and noise
in neural computation, Theoretical Biology and Biophysics.
Theory: Computational Learning Theory, Complexity Theory,
Dynamical Systems, Statistical Mechanics, Probability and
Statistics, Approximation Theory.
Implementation and Simulation: VLSI, Optical, Software
Simulators, Implementation Languages, Parallel Processor
Design and Benchmarks.
Algorithms and Architectures: Learning Algorithms,
Constructive and Pruning Algorithms, Localized Basis
Functions, Tree Structured Networks, Performance
Comparisons, Recurrent Networks, Combinatorial Optimization,
Genetic Algorithms.
Cognitive Science & AI: Natural Language, Human Learning and
Memory, Perception and Psychophysics, Symbolic Reasoning.
Visual Processing: Stereopsis, Visual Motion Processing,
Image Coding and Classification.
Speech and Signal Processing: Speech Recognition, Coding,
and Synthesis, Text-to-Speech, Adaptive Equalization,
Nonlinear Noise Removal.
Control, Navigation, and Planning Navigation and Planning,
Learning Internal Models of the World, Trajectory Planning,
Robotic Motor Control, Process Control.
Applications Medical Diagnosis or Data Analysis, Financial
and Economic Analysis, Timeseries Prediction, Protein
Structure Prediction, Music Processing, Expert Systems.
Technical Program: Plenary, contributed and poster sessions will
be held. There will be no parallel sessions. The full text of
presented papers will be published. Submission Procedures:
Original research contributions are solicited, and will be
carefully refereed. Authors must submit six copies of both a
1000-word (or less) summary and six copies of a separate single-
page 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their results
postmarked by May 17, 1991. Accepted abstracts will be published
in the conference program. Summaries are for program committee
use only. At the bottom of each abstract page and on the first
summary page indicate preference for oral or poster presentation
and specify one of the above nine broad categories and, if
appropriate, sub-categories (For example: Poster, Applications-
Expert Systems; Oral, Implementation-Analog VLSI). Include
addresses of all authors at the front of the summary and the
abstract and indicate to which author correspondence should be
addressed. Submissions will not be considered that lack category
information, separate abstract sheets, the required six copies,
author addresses, or are late.
