Subject: Recirculating Nets
Someone had posted some news about a new idea in Back-propagation
networks that was published in Nature July 1987 (reported by
Geoffrey North).
Does anyone knows where can I get more information about the
recirculation algorithm developed by Hinton Geoffrey ?
thanks in advance,
joel ratsaby

This is to let those who are intested and are thinking about getting
onto CompuServe to download SILOAM, it is not in C Chest DL.
SILOAM may be found in DL 7 - AI-Issues\Languages in three files:
vis3.arc binary size unknown
vision.c source 40490 bytes
vison2.arc binary size unknown
I have yet to download these since, I am looking for a cheaper way
than CompuServe. However, I thought I would save others some time
if they went in pursuit of SILOAM.

Sometime in October you can order a copy of the IEEE First Annual
International Conference on Neural Networks from the IEEE Service
Center, (201) 981-0060.

Subject: fellowships in neural nets
The previous message was cut off. The Center
for OPtoelectronic Computing Systems, recently
funded by the National Science Foundation for
$15 million over 5 years is looking for students
to study algorithms and architectures in
connectionism and neural networks for implementation
in optical hardware. This research will have a
systems focus, and will interface with other
cognitive research at the university including
the Cognitive Science Institute, and Center for
Neural Computation. Students interested in pursuing
a PhD in neural net algorithms, architectures and
system design and implementation should send thei8r
resume to:r Kristina Johnson, Asst. Professor
Center for Optoelectronic Computing Systems
Campus Box 425

Subject: Neural Network References
Micheal,
I have noticed in the past that there are many connectionists, both neophyte
and experienced, that have requested neural network references. In the course
of writing a journal article I have accumulated a bibliography of over 700
references that spans almost 50 pages. I am making this available for the cost
of $3.00 (to postage and handling ($3.00), which should be sent to the address
below. My sincerest appreciation for a job well done on your bulletin board.
Regards,

presents
Dr. Robert Hecht-Nielsen
Neurocomputer Applications
in
Defense, Telecommunications, Robotics,
Finance, Automotive, and more.
Neural networks are dynamical systems. The current surge of
interest in neural networks stems from the discovery that it
is possible to carry out useful information processing with
this type of dynamical system. Neural networks are loosely
based on how cells in the brain process information, not in
the serial manner of conventional computers but in a highly
parallel fashion like th brain. This technology has a
suprisingly wide variety of applications, ranging from:
intelligently reading through libraries of text to
compressing phone data to optimizing your car's engine
performance to recognizing deadly targets in the
battlefield. They can e applied almmost anywhere where you
know what you want the computer to do but you don't know how
to tell it. Come hear one of the world's leading experts on
neural networks give a very lucid summary of this explosive
new technology. Also, meet others like yourself who are
interested as well as those already working in this field.
About the Speaker: Robert Hecht-Nielsen received his BS and
PH.D degrees, both in mathematics, from Arizona State
University. He is the co-founder of HNC Neurocomputer
Corporation. He was previously Manager of TRW's Artificial
Intelligence Center as well as several other research
positions in artificial neural systems in the past. He
teaches a course on neural nets at UCSD and is an active
member of the Del Mar Surf Club.
Where: UCSD 110 Peterson Hall
When: Wednesday, October 14, 7 pm to 9 pm
