The paper submission deadline for ACNN91 is only one week away (Sep 28) ! Here is a rerun .... --------------------- > Final call for papers > Availability of scholarships for local academics and full-time postgraduate students. ---------------- FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS Second Australian Conference On Neural Networks (ACNN'91) 4th - 6th February 1991 The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia The second Australian conference on neural networks will be held in Sydney on Feb 4, 5 and 6, 1991, at the Stephen Roberts Theatre, The University of Sydney. This conference is interdisciplinary, with emphasis on cross discipline communication between Neuroscientists, Engineers, Computer Scientists, Mathematicians and Psychologists concerned with understanding the integrative nature of the nervous system and its implementation in hardware/software. The categories for submissions include: 1. Neuroscience: Integrative function of neural networks in vision, audition, motor, somatosensory and autonomic functions; Synaptic function; Cellular information processing; 2. Theory: Learning; generalisation; complexity; scaling; stability; dynamics; 3. Implementation: Hardware implementation of neural nets; Analog and digital VLSI implementation; Optical implementations; 4. Architectures and Learning Algorithms: New architectures and learning algorithms; hierarchy; modularity; learning pattern sequences; Information integration; 5. Cognitive Science & AI: Computational models of cognition and perception; Reasoning; Concept formation; Language acquisition; Neural net implementation of expert systems; 6. Applications: Application of neural nets to signal processing and analysis; Pattern recognition: Speech, machine vision; Motor control; Robotic. ACNN'91 will feature invited keynote speakers in the areas of neuroscience, learning, modelling and implementations. The program will include pre-conference tutorials, presentations and poster sessions. Proceedings will be printed and distributed to the attendees. There will be no parallel sessions. A partial list of invited speakers include: * Lee Giles - NEC Princeton Research Laboratory * Mark Holler - Intel International Corporation * Alex Waibel - Carnegie Mellon University Submission Procedures: Original research contributions are solicited and will be internationally refereed. Authors must submit by September 28, 1990, five copies of an up to four pages manuscript, five copies of a single-page 100 words maximum abstract clearly stating their results and a covering letter indicating the submission title and the full names and addresses of all authors and to which author correspondence should be addressed. Authors need to indicate on the top of each copy of the manuscript and abstract pages their preference for an oral or poster presentation and specify one of the above six broad categories. Note that names or addresses of the authors should be omitted from the manuscript and the abstract and should be included only on the covering letter. Authors will be notified by December 3, 1990 whether their submissions are accepted or not, and are expected to prepare a revised manuscript (up to four pages) by January 4, 1991.
