I posted a request for neural net research information which was considered too general. My objective is to gather information of technical reports, papers, on-going research projects, experimental results, etc. I think information like this will facilitate further research in neural net or related computation for the research community as a whole. If there're already sources of information like these, please let me know. Information that I collected from responses of this article will be posted onto the bulletin board or sent by email. To be specific, interested(to me) areas are: (not meant to be comprehensive) 1) neural net model (or PDP model) as a general model of parallel computation -- validity, applicable problem domains, performance analysis, levels and structures, etc.; 2) neural machines -- experimental and commercial; I'm aware of Mark III Mark IV by TRW electronics (details not known); any work on hypercubes and Connection Machine, etc.; in communication intensive model like neural net, is there any successful simulation done on an Ethernet of Sun's, for example; 3) neural net programming environment -- language of neuronal computation description, network layout description, monitoring, software development environment etc.; 4) learning in neural net -- learning rules, memory capacity, behavior such as forgetting and re-learn, etc.; 5) applications -- optimization problems, ai applications, any others to show the usefulness of this model.
