Symposium on Hybrid Intelligent Systems: neural networks,
fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, expert systems
---------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
Rio de Janeiro will host next year in the period August 21-26 the
X International Conference on Medical Physics and the XVII
International Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering.
The above Symposium is one of the planned activities at these
conferences. Its purpose is to bring researchers together to discuss
new hybrid structures for developing intelligent systems for decision
making support in Health Sciences.
Neural networks, Fuzzy Logic, Genetic algorithms, Evolutionary
Computation, etc. are examples of new tools available for the
development of intelligent systems. A new generation of systems
combining these techniques is emerging as a competitive solution for
decision making problems in Health Sciences.
The symposium is being planned to combine the following activities
to provide a forum to describe these ideas:
- Tutorial on the subject:
"Hybrid Intelligent Systems for Health Sciences"
by Armando F. Rocha, author of the book Neural Nets - A Theory for
Brains and Machines
- Two invited speeches:
- "Connectionist Expert Systems"
by Ricardo J. Machado
- another to be chosen
- Two paper sessions
Authors are invited to submit paper abstracts to this symposium
respecting the deadline of December 20, 1993. They are also invited
to propose a theme and speaker for the second invited speech.
The authors' kit including the camera-ready form for abstracts can be
ordered to Ms. Solange Oliveira

CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on Integrating Knowledge and Neural Heuristics
(ISIKNH'94)
Sponsored by University of Florida, and AAAI,
in cooperation with IEEE Neural Network Council,
and Florida AI Research Society.
Time: May 9-10 1994; Place: Pensacola Beach, Florida, USA.
A large amount of research has been directed
toward integrating neural and symbolic methods in recent years.
Especially, the integration of knowledge-based principles and
neural heuristics holds great promise
in solving complicated real-world problems.
This symposium will provide a forum for discussions
and exchanges of ideas in this area. The objective of this symposium
is to bring together researchers from a variety of fields
who are interested in applying neural network techniques
to augmenting existing knowledge or proceeding the other way around,
and especially, who have demonstrated that this combined approach
outperforms either approach alone.
We welcome views of this problem from
areas such as constraint-(knowledge-) based learning and
reasoning, connectionist symbol processing,
hybrid intelligent systems, fuzzy neural networks,
multi-strategic learning, and cognitive science.
Examples of specific research include but are not limited to:
1. How do we build a neural network based on {\em a priori}
knowledge (i.e., a knowledge-based neural network)?
2. How do neural heuristics improve the current model
for a particular problem (e.g., classification, planning,
signal processing, and control)?
3. How does knowledge in conjunction with neural heuristics
contribute to machine learning?
4. What is the emergent behavior of a hybrid system?
5. What are the fundamental issues behind the combined approach?
Program activities include keynote speeches, paper presentation,
and panel discussions.
*****
Scholarships are offered to assist students in attending the
symposium. Students who wish to apply for a scholarship should send
their resumes and a statement of how their researches are related
to the symposium.
