Subject: Re: request for net software
 
Does anyone knows if programs like the game of life (posed by J. Conway)
has been implemented in the Connection machine, to study image-processing ?.
    Any ideas about the subject ? maybe I'am totally out of focus.
Thanks in advance,      Galo.

Is anyone using connectionist ideas to model stereoptic depth perception,
and binocular fusion, or has the field been cornered
by Marr, Poggio, Grimson, Frisby, et al?

Since I suspect that there are many new and introductory readers on this
newsgroup, and the traffic is not all that heavy, I feel that it would
be very helpful to post whatever information is available for computer
systems, software, resources, texts, etc.

You are absolutely right!
Some time ago there was a little bit more traffic in this newsgroup and 
a neural network program named bpsim was posted by Richard Caasi (Oct. 87)
which was written in C and demonstrated a small example of the back-propa-
gation algorithm. This program and the idea behind it is explained in an 
article by William P. Jones and Josiah Hoskins "Back-Propagation" in BYTE
Vol. 12, No. 11 August 1987 p. 155-162. J. Hoskins is also the author of the
program.
I did draw a copy of this program - but I weren't very lucky in compiling it
using Turbo-C. It worked once and a while, though I'm not sure that it wasn't
subtly spoiled in the transfer. I am no "C-Crack" and didn't want to bother
people who are. 
Maybe some of the above mentioned "listens" and repost the program (wasn't so
big, about 16KB) together with some instruction to activate under Turbo-C. I
have the source available, but I don't know if I have the right to post it.
 
There is another introductory article and a program listing in C in Dr.Dobb's
Journal #126 April 1987 by Robert Jay Brown "An Artificial Neural Network
Experiment". The program simulates an "adaptive template matching image
categorizer". It "learns to recognize (visual) patterns by being trained
from a set of prototype patterns presented in a training file".
I didn't have the time to "hack" it into my PC, maybe someone else has and
kindly post it to this newsgroup?
 
Hope this is some new information to you.

You can find the software as
pdp2 or pdp1.Z (the compressed version) at
loon.cs.wisc.edu (128.105.2.137) 
 
After uncompressing the file run tar on it
  i.e. uncompress pdp1
       tar -xf pdp1
 
grab the file with ftp
 i.e.
  ftp loon.cs.wisc.edu  (or ftp 128.105.2.137)
  (user ftp, password anything -- note that anonymous login doesn't work)
  binary (go into binary)
  get pdp1.Z
  quit
 
The software will not do you any good without the book so get the book
first.

While not free, the PDP group's long awaited "volume 3," _Explorations
in Parallel Distributed Processing: A Handbook of Models, Programs, and
Excercises_ is now shipping from The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, $27.50.
 
Contents include tunable programs, source code, and excercises for
interactive activation and competetion, constraint satisfaction,
pattern associators, the generalized delta rule, auto-associators
and competetive learning, and cognition modeling.

I found that the reason that BPSIM does not work is that it fails to
initialize the storage obtained in the create_unit function. It can
be corrected by adding the lines:
              unitptr->inlinks = NULL;
              unitptr->outlinks = NULL;
just before the return statement in the definition of create_unit.
With this change, it works fine under Borland Turbo C (and also
Microsoft C, I believe).

                              Abstract
                              --------
  Researchers are developing neural-like network models that exhi-
bit a broad range of cognitive behavior.  Unfortunately, existing
computer systems are limited in their ability to emulate such
networks efficiently.  Consequently, the OGC Cognitive Architec-
ture Project is studying the implementation of massively parallel
architectures for the emulation of a range of very large
connectionist/neural networks.  The goal of our project is to
build ultra-large-scale-integrated, silicon-based computing
structures that will be able to emulate connectionist/neural net-
works with thousands of nodes and millions of connections at
rates exceeding that of their biological counterparts.  The
manufacturing costs for these systems will be a few thousand dol-
lars.  Such ultra-large die size (larger than the traditional 1
square centimeter) is made possible by the inherent fault-
tolerance of the computational model.  This talk will explore
some of the problems and potential solutions in developing such
architectures.
 
                             .  .  .  .
 
Format: Tea will be served 15 minutes prior to the talk, outside
 the lecture hall. The talks (including discussion) last about
 one hour. Following the talk, there will be a reception in
 the fourth floor lounge of the Psychology Dept.
 
Location: Room 380-380W, which can be reached through the lower level
 between the Psychology and Mathematical Sciences buildings.
 
Technical Level: These talks will be technically oriented and are intended 
 for persons actively working in related areas. They are not intended
 for the newcomer seeking general introductory material.

Subject: Neural Network research in Japan. Conference program
 
Dear Colleagues:
 
Resurgence of neural network research in Japan seemed  to have
started this spring. Many seminars and lectures are held since 
last December.  I'd like to show the situation by  introducing
related conference programs in this  spring.  I hope this will 
give you some understanding of Neural Network research in Japan.
 
Followings are excerpts from the conference programs of 
(1) The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication 
Engineers (biggest society for electrical engineers), and
(2) The Acoustical Society of Japan.
 
There are another conferences and technical meetings relating
neural network research in this spring. I think I can introduce
them later.
 
We have also presented our research at the A.S.J. Technical meeting
on hearing last week. The title is:
 
%A Hideki Kawahara
%A Toshio Irino
%T Temporal Feature Extraction using State Compression Neural
Networks: Application to Speech Perception Study
%R H-88-15, the Acoustical Society of Japan
%D 1988 March 14
 
This report will present a new insight on the relation between 
Tank & Hopfield's  and Stornetta's method of temporal feature
manipulation and on temporal characteristics of human auditory
systems. I'd like to introduce this after completing additional
experiments and translation into English.

PS: Excuse me for delay in sending our previous research reports.
Your request is kept in our mailing list. The English version will 
come out by the end of April. (I hope)

PS1:
Unfortunately, almost all of these materials are written in Japanese.
Some of the authors will attend ICNN, INSS, ASA and NIPS. Then you
can exchange information there. 
 
PS2:
I will also attend the ASA meeting in Seattle 16-21 May. I'm looking
forward to seeing you and having discussion.
