[comp.ai.neural-nets] References sought for Connectionist Expert Systems

finton@ai.cs.wisc.edu (David J. Finton) (09/12/90)

I'm looking for papers on the development of connectionist
rule-based systems.  So far, I've found the following:

   Touretzky, D.S. and Hinton, G.E. (1985). "Symbols among the neurons: 
      Details of a connectionist inference architecture,"
      Proceedings of the IJCAI, Los Angeles.

      Describes a rule-based system embedded in a connectionist 
      system

   Gallant, S.I.  (1988). "Connectionist expert systems," Communications
      of the ACM 31(2), 152-169.

   Saito, K.  and Nakano, R.  (1988). "Medical diagnostic expert system 
      based on PDP model," Proceedings of the IEEE International
      Conference on Neural Networks, San Diego.

Can anyone add to this list, especially with more recent work?

Please feel free to comment on the viability, importance, or 
appropriateness as a PhD thesis topic of this work.
