Dear Sir/Madam :
I have a question about the Levenshtein distance. in "Self-Organization and
Associative Memory" book (page 67, 4 lines) T.Kohonen written:
weighted Levenshtein distance WLD(A,B) = min{pa(i) + qb(i) + rc(i)} (2.93)
where the coefficients p, q, and r may be obtained from the so-called
confusion matrix of the alphabet, as the inverse probability for particular
type of error to occur.
Could you help me to get the p, q, and r confusion matrix of the alphabet?
I want use the distance for some words matching processing application.
Thanks a lot.
Regard
Hu Jingyi

ABSTRACT
In this report we present the results of a series of simula-
tions in which neural networks undergo change as a result of
two forces: learning during the "lifetime" of a network, and
evolutionary change over the course of several "generations"
of networks. The results demonstrate how complex and
apparently purposeful behavior can arise from random varia-
tion in networks. We believe that these results provide a
good starting basis for modeling the more complex phenomena
observed in biological systems. A more specific problem for
which our results may be relevant is determining the role of
behavior in evolution (Plotkin, 1988); that is, how learning
at the individual level can have an influence on evolution
at the population level within a strictly Darwinian--not
Lamarckian--framework.

The Seventh IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications
Fontainbleau Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida
February 24 - 28, 1991
Call For Participation
(submission deadline 8/31/90)
Sponsored by The Computer Society of IEEE
The conference is devoted to the application of artificial
intelligence techniques to real-world problems. Two kinds of papers
are appropriate: case studies of knowledge-based applications that
solve significant problems and stimulate the development of useful
techniques and papers on AI techniques and principles that underlie
knowledge-based systems, and in turn, enable ever more ambitious
real-world applications. This conference provides a forum for such
synergy between applications and AI techniques.
Papers describing significant unpublished results are solicited along
three tracks:
o "Scientific/Engineering" Applications Track. Contributions stemming
from the general area of industrial and scientific applications.
o "Business/Decision Support" Applications Track. Contributions stemming
from the general area of decision support applications in business,
government, law, etc.
Papers in these two application tracks must: (1) Justify the use
of the AI technique, based on the problem definition and an
analysis of the application's requirements; (2) Explain how AI
technology was used to solve a significant problem; (3) Describe
the status of the implementation; (4) Evaluate both the
effectiveness of the implementation and the technique used.
Short papers up to 1000 words in length will also be accepted for
presentation in these two application tracks.
o "Enabling Technology" Track. Contributions focusing on techniques
and principles that facilitate the development of practical knowledge
based systems that can be scaled to handle increasing problem
complexity. Topics include, but are not limited to: knowledge
representation, reasoning, search, knowledge acquisition, learning,
constraint programming, planning, validation and verification, project
management, natural language processing, speech, intelligent
interfaces, natural language processing, integration, problem-solving
architectures, programming environments and general tools.
Long papers in all three tracks should be limited to 5000 words and
short papers in the two applications tracks limited to 1000 words.
Papers which are significantly longer than these limits will not be
reviewed. The first page of the paper should contain the following
information (where applicable) in the order shown:
- Title.
- Authors' names and affiliation. (specify student status)
- Contact information (name, postal address, phone, fax and email address)
- Abstract: A 200 word abstract that includes a clear statement describing
the paper's original contributions and what new lesson is imparted.
- AI topic: one or more terms describing the relevant AI areas, e.g.,
knowledge acquisition, explanation, diagnosis, etc.
- Domain area: one or more terms describing the problem domain area,
e.g., mechanical design, factory scheduling, education, medicine, etc.
Do NOT specify the track.
- Language/Tool: Underlying programming languages, systems and tools used.
- Status: development and deployment status, as appropriate.
- Effort: Person-years of effort put into developing the particular
aspect of the project being described.
- Impact: A twenty word description of estimated or measured (specify)
benefit of the application developed.
Each paper accepted for publication will be allotted seven pages in
the conference proceedings. The best papers accepted in the two
applications tracks will be considered for a special issue of IEEE
EXPERT to appear late in 1991. An application has been made to
reserve a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data
Engineering (TDKE) for publication of the best papers in the enabling
technologies track. IBM will sponsor an award of $1,500 for the
best student paper at the conference.
In addition to papers, we will be accepting the following types of
submissions:
- Proposals for Panel discussions. Provide a brief description of the
topic (1000 words or less). Indicate the membership of the panel and
whether you are interested in organizing/moderating the discussion.
- Proposals for Demonstrations. Submit a short proposal (under 1000
words) describing a videotaped and/or live demonstration. The
demonstration should be of a particular system or technique that
shows the reduction to practice of one of the conference topics.
The demonstration or videotape should be not longer than 15 minutes.
- Proposals for Tutorial Presentations. Proposals for three hour
tutorials of both an introductory and advanced nature are
requested. Topics should relate to the management
and technical development of useful AI applications. Tutorials
which analyze classes of applications in depth or examine
techniques appropriate for a particular class of applications are of
particular interest. Copies of slides are to be provided in advance to
IEEE for reproduction.
Each tutorial proposal should include the following:
* Detailed topic list and extended abstract (about 3 pages)
* Tutorial level: introductory, intermediate, or advanced
* Prerequisite reading for intermediate and advanced tutorials
* Short professional vita including presenter's experience in
lectures and tutorials.

Subject: Call for Participation in Connectionist Natural Language Processing
From: cpd@aic.hrl.hac.com
Date: Tue, 10 Jul 90 10:52:42 -0700
AAAI Spring Symposium
Connectionist Natural Language Processing
Recent results have lead some researchers to propose that connectionism
is an alternative to AI/Linguistic approaches to natural language
processing, both as a cognitive model and for practical applications.
This symposium will bring together both critics and proponents of
connectionist NLP to discuss its strengths and weaknesses.
This symposium will cover a number of areas, spanning from new phonology
models to connectionist treatments of anaphora and discourse issues.
Participants should address what is new that connectionism brings to the
study of language. The purpose of the symposium is to examine this issue
from a range of perspectives including:
Spoken language understanding/generation
Parsing
Semantics
Pragmatics
Language acquisition
Linguistic and representational capacity issues
Applications
Some of the questions expecting to be addressed include:
What mechanisms/representations from AI/Linguistics
are necessary for connectionist NLP? Why?
Can connectionism help integrate signal processing
with knowledge of language?
What does connectionism add to other theories
of semantics?
Do connectionist theories have implications for
psycholinguistics?
Prospective participants are encouraged to contact a member of the
program committee to obtain a more detailed description of the
symposium's goals and issues. Those interested in participating in this
symposium are asked to submit a 1-2 page position paper abstract and a
list of relevant publications. Abstracts of work in progress are
encouraged, and potential participants may also include 3 copies of a
full length paper describing previous work. Submitted papers or abstracts
will be included in the symposium working notes, and participants will be
asked to participate in panel discussions.
Three (3) copies of each submission should be sent to arrive by November
16, 1990 to:
Charles Dolan, Hughes Research Laboratories, RL96, 3011 Malibu Canyon
Road, Malibu CA, 90265
All submissions will be promptly acknowledged.
E-Mail inquiries may be sent to:

Date: 13 Jul 90 20:13:14 +0000
International Workshop on
VLSI FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEURAL NETWORKS
University of Oxford -- September 5-7, 1990
___________________________________________________________________
Research on architectures dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI)
processing has been increasing in recent years, since conventional
data or numerically oriented architectures are not able to provide
the computational power and/or functionality required. For the
time being these architectures have to be implemented in VLSI
technology with its inherent constraints on speed, connectivity,
fabrication yield and power. This in turn impacts on the
effectiveness of the computer architecture.
The aim of this second workshop on VLSI for AI and Neural Networks
is again to provide a forum where AI experts, VLSI and Computer
Architecture designers can come together to discuss the present
status and future trends on VLSI and ULSI implementations of
machines for AI computing. This workshop will be held in an
informal environment with poster and regular session along with
time for impromptu discussions.
To encourage interaction, the workshop will be limited to a maximum
of 70 participants. The workshop sessions, meals and accommodation
will all be provided in the unique atmosphere of Jesus College
between the evening of the 4th September and lunchtime on the 7th
September 1990. The college was founded in 1571 by Queen Elizabeth
I; meals will be taken in the traditional medieval hall, a perfect
setting for the Conference Dinner on the Thursday evening.
SPONSORS
The Workshop is organised by the University of Oxford Department
for External Studies in conjunction with the Department of
Engineering Science and the Department of Electrical Engineering at
SUNY-Binghamton. The workshop is sponsored by the University of
Oxford in association with SUNY Binghamton, ACM-SIGARCH and the IEE.

DESCRIPTION
The capabilities of neural architectures (supervised and
unsupervised learning, feature detection and analysis through
approximate pattern matching, categorization and self-organization,
adaptation, soft constraints, and signal based processing) suggest
new approaches to solving problems in vision, image processing and
pattern recognition as applied to visual stimuli. The purpose of
this special issue is to encourage further work and discussion in
this area.
The volume will include both invited and submitted peer-reviewed
articles. We are seeking submissions from researchers in relevant
fields, including, natural and artificial vision, scientific
computing, artificial intelligence, psychology, image processing
and pattern recognition. "We encourage submission of: 1) detailed
presentations of models or supporting mechanisms, 2) formal
theoretical analyses, 3) empirical and methodological studies. 4)
critical reviews of neural networks applicability to various
subfields of vision, image processing and pattern recognition.
Submitted papers may be enthusiastic or critical on the
applicability of neural networks to processing of visual
information. The IJPRAI journal would like to encourage
submissions from both, researchers engaged in analysis of
biological systems such as modeling
psychological/neurophysiological data using neural networks as well
as from members of the engineering community who are synthesizing
neural network models. The number of papers that can be included
in this special issue will be limited. Therefore, some qualified
papers may be encouraged for submission to the regular issues of
IJPRAI.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Submissions should be sent to Josef Skrzypek, by 12-10-1990. The
suggested length is 20-22 double-spaced pages including figures,
references, abstract and so on. Format details, etc. will be
supplied on request.
Authors are strongly encouraged to discuss ideas for possible
submissions with the editors.
The Journal is published by the World Scientific and was
established in 1986.
Thank you for your considerations.
