My queue grew too long, plus I went to San Diego for the Acoustic Society's conference and this slipped through. NIPS has already happened, but readers may wish to know about the following. ON a related note, would some kind reader please submit a review of NIPS for those of us who could not make it? What exciting papers were presented? What new things emerged? What is your estimation of the state of the field, as evidenced at NIPS? -PM ]] Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks, and Artificial Life David H. Ackley Richard K. Belew Based on the principles of natural selection, "genetic algorithms" (GAs) are a class of adaptive techniques that use a population of structures to represent a set of potential solutions to some problem. Selective reproduction emphasizes "more fit" individuals and focuses the search process, while genetic operators modify the offspring to increase diversity and search broadly. Theoretical and empirical results highlight the importance of employing the "crossover" operator to exchange information between individuals. Such genetic recombination produces a global search strategy quite different from --- and in some ways complementary to --- the gradient-based techniques popular in neural network learning. We will survey the theory and practice of genetic algorithms, and then focus on the growing body of research efforts that combine genetic algorithms and neural networks. Brief presentations from researchers active in the field (including Richard Lippmann, David Stork, and Darrell Whitley) will set the stage for in-depth discussions of issues in the area, such as: * Comparison and composition of GA sampling and NNet searching * The advantages and costs of recombination operators * Parallel implementations of GAs * Appropriate representations for NNets with the GA * Roles for ontogeny between GA evolution and NNet learning During the course of the workshop we will gradually broaden our scope. As natural neurons provide inspiration for artificial neural networks, and natural selection provides inspiration for GAs, other aspects of natural life can provide inspirations for studies in "artificial life". We will sample recent "alife" research efforts, and conclude with a discussion of prospects and problems for this new, interdisciplinary field. ------------------------------ Subject: ML91 Call for papers: Eighth International Machine Learning Workshop From: Lawrence Birnbaum <birnbaum@fido.ils.nwu.edu> Date: Wed, 21 Nov 90 15:31:40 -0600 ML91 The Eighth International Workshop on Machine Learning Call for Papers The organizing committee is please to announce that ML91 will include the following workshop topics: Automated Knowledge Acquisition Computational Models of Human Learning Learning Relations Machine Learning in Engineering Automation Learning to React/in Complex Environments Constructive Induction Learning in Intelligent Information Retrieval Learning from Theory and Data Papers must be submitted to one of these workshops for consideration.

It's shaping up to be a great session. Special thanks to those who have volunteered to give presentations. Workshop 8. on VLSI Neural Networks is being held Saturday, Dec 1 at Keystone. Related workshops are workshop 7. on implementations of neural networks on digital, massively parallel computers, and workshop 9. on optical implementations. Abstract: 8. VLSI Neural Networks Jim Burr Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305 (415) 723-4087 burr@mojave.stanford.edu This one day workshop will address the latest advances in VLSI implementations of neural nets. How successful have implementations been so far? Are dedicated neurochips being used in real applications? What algorithms have been implemented? Which ones have not been? Why not? How important is on chip learning? How much arithmetic precision is necessary? Which is more important, capacity or performance? What are the issues in constructing very large networks? What are the technology scaling limits? Any new technology developments? Several invited speakers will address these and other questions from various points of view in discussing their current research. We will try to gain better insight into the strengths and limitations of dedicated hardware solutions. Agenda: morning: 1. review of new chips capacity performance power learning architecture 2. guidelines for reporting results - recommendation at evening session specify technology, performance, power if possible translate power into joules/connection or joules/update 3. analog vs digital - the debate goes on 4. on-chip learning - who needs it 5. locality - who needs it (Boltzmann vs backprop) 6. precision - how much 7. leveraging tech scaling evening: 1. large networks - how big memory power Here are some of the issues we will discuss during the workshop: - What is the digital/analog tradeoff for storing weights? - What is the digital/analog tradeoff for doing inner products? - What is the digital/analog tradeoff for multichip systems? - Is on-chip learning necessary? - How important is locality? - How much precision is needed in a digital system? - What capabilities can we expect in 2 years? 5 years? - What are the biggest obstacles to implementing LARGE networks? Capacity? Performance? Power? Connectivity? presenters: Kristina Johnson, UC Boulder electro-optical networks Josh Alspector, Bellcore analog Boltzmann machines Andy Moore, Caltech subthreshold (with Video!) Edi Saeckinger, ATT NET32K Tom Baker, Adaptive Solutions precision Hal McCartor, Adaptive Solutions the X1 Chip presenters: please consider mentioning the following: - technology (eg 2.0 micron CMOS, 0.8 micron GaAs) - capacity in connections and neurons - performance in connections per second - energy per connection (power dissipation) - on-chip learning? (Updates per second) - scalability? How large a network? - a few words on tools See you at the workshop!
