Subject: Braitenberg Vehicles
I have heard about implementations of Braitenberg Vehicles in simple
robots that use neural nets for control. They may have been presented
at the Artificial Life conference at Los Alamos last summer. I would
appreciate either a reference to a publication or the name(s) and institutional
affiliation(s) of the researcher(s) involved. Anybody know?

Request for OPS5 programs
-------------------------
Well, we have OPS5 on the VAX now and I am very eager to play
around with it. Because I am very interested in the
neuron-approach of AI I would like to try to implement
some small toy-program in order to
1. learn the language OPS5
2. to gain some insight in the neuron-approach.
It's possible that OPS5 is not at all the most suitable
language to implement neural networks.
In that case: flames on please.
Anybody having some OPS5 programs that show the right to
exist for this language?

I am looking for information on:
- the inherent fault-tolerance in neural networks
- determining the fault-tolerance capabilities of neural networks
- increasing fault tolerance in neural networks
- using neural networks for traditional fault tolerance applications
If anyone has this kind of information, I would appreciate hearing
about it. I will post the results if there is interest.

Subject: Grossberg real time ?
In many places, Grossberg emphasizes that his concern with real-
time issues guided the development of his theories. I greatly
admire his work and have read many of his articles. I am in the
midst of re-reading several of them, yet I am having difficulty
finding anything concrete about real-time behavior. As you know,
if you are a Grossberg fan, there is a tremendous amount of
material to pour over, all of it interesting.
So I have the following questions. If you could answer them for
me, I would greatly appreciate it.
1) What is Grossberg's definition of real-time? Instantaeous,
combinational, situation-specific, or finitely bounded (similar
to linear-bounded automata)? Or, if you have a better definition
of real-time, I'd like to hear it and e-talk about it with you.
2) Do Grossberg's systems learn in real-time, or operate in
real-time? Whatever they do in real time, do they always do it
in real time? Are there any specific paragraphs you can point to
that either prove this theoretically or give examples of real-
time behavior?
I would appreciate any replies, whether they are knowledgeable or
naive, specific or tangential, pro- or anti-Grossberg, pro- or
anti-real time.
Thank you,
Peter Berke

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON NEURAL NETWORKS
Barry A Stevens
Applied AI Systems
-
I am conducting a survey to identify the "useful" neural network
paradigms. There are many available, but few have established
themselves as robust and trainable in the commercial environment.
-
I seek either: pointers to information sources, or information itself.
With enough response, I will summarize and post to the net. The three
types of information sought are:
-
***The usefulness of the network paradigms listed below when applied
to real problems with real data;
-
***The tests that a set of training data must meet to be useable with
each of the paradigms;
-
***The classes of problems for which each paradigm is useful.
-
-
Comments on stability, robustness, ease of construction and test, and
results obtained from the application would be useful and welcome.
Pointers to sources that contain such information are equally welcome.
-
I already have access to numerous technical papers that talk about
such things as "spatiotemporal uses" as a class of applications. What
is of more interest is "The Spatiotemporal Paradigm was successfully
used to identify specific waveforms and patterns in foreign currency
trading data... etc.". Or this: "a backpropogation network was used to
implement a consumer loan approval system, with performance exceeding
both that of human loan officers making the loans and a rule-based
expert system designed for the same purpose. The network was trained
in three weeks, the expert system took two manyears to build."
-
These network paradigms are of specific interest:
-
Back Propogation
Back Propogation - shared weights
Counter Propogation
Adaptive Resonance 1 and 2
Binary Associative Memory
Spatiotemporal Network
Neocognitron
Hopfield Network
Kohonen Feature Map
Boltzman Machine
Group Method of Data Handling
Barron Associates: polynomial synthesis
-
If there are others that you feel are also of interest, please feel
free comment on them as well. Also, I realize that some of these are
not neural network paradigms per se, but they have been used in the
same situations and are therefore of interest.
-
I can be reached by email or at this address and phone:

Title:
Statistical Modules for Parallel Distributed Processing
New Machine Learning and Neural Modeling Frontiers
Speaker: Professor Dr. Robert J. Jannarone
Abstract
The Von Neumann serial programming model for information processing
not only provided the basis for traditional computer design; it also
was the dominant influence for models of cognitive fields.
In recent years, however, it has become clear that the neural processing
models and future computing improvements.
In this talk I will describe the nature of these flaws and some reasons why
alternative--so-called parallel distributed processing (PDP)-- models are
currently causing a revolution within cognitive science.
I will also describe some new statistically-based PDP modules that we are
currently developing at the Machine Intelligence Laboratory.
These modules may be promising as both general cognitive theories and
viable machine learning devices.

The conference was a huge success (1700 participants, over 200 papers, and
over 20 exhibitors). Next year we are going to do it again! IEEE ICNN-88
will be held at the Sheraton Harbor Island hotel in San Diego, California on
Sunday 24 July 1988 thru Wednesday 27 July 1988. Tutorials will be held on
Saturday 23 July 1988. The conference is expected to attract over 3,000
participants. Join us for this history-making event.
