CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
IEE Colloquium on Advances in Neural Networks
for Control and Systems
26-27 May 1994
Daimler-Benz Systems Technology Research
Berlin, Germany
A colloquium on `Advances in neural networks for control and systems' is
being organised by the control committees of the Institution of
Electrical Engineers. This two-day meeting will be held on 26-27 May 1994
at Daimler-Benz Systems Technology Research in Berlin. The programme will
comprise a mix of invited papers and papers received in response to this
call. Invited speakers include leading international academic workers in
the field and major industrial companies who will present recent
applications of neural methods, and outline the latest theoretical
advances.
Neural networks have been seen for some years now as providing
considerable promise for application in nonlinear control and systems
problems. This promise stems from the theoretical ability of networks of
various types to approximate arbitrarily well continuous nonlinear
mappings.
The aim of this colloquium is to evaluate the state-of-the-art in this
very popular field from the engineering perspective. The colloquium will
cover both theoretical and applied aspects. A major goal of the workshop
will be to examine ways of improving the engineering involved in neural
network modelling and control, so that the theoretical power of learning
systems can be harnessed for practical applications. This includes
questions such as: which network architecture for which application? Can
constructive learning algorithms capture the underlying dynamics while
avoiding overfitting? How can we introduce a priori knowledge or models
into neural networks? Can experiment design and active learning be used
to automatically create 'optimal' training sets? How can we validate a
neural network model?
In line with this goal of better engineering methods, the colloquium will
also place emphasis on real industrial applications of the technology;
applied papers are most welcome.
Prospective authors are invited to submit three copies of a 500-word
abstract by Friday 25 February 1994 to Dr K J Hunt, Daimler-Benz AG,
Alt-Moabit 91 B, D-10559 Berlin, Germany (tel: + 49 30 399 82 275, FAX: +

Subject: Wavelet Transform Short Course at UCLA
From: "Watanabe, Nonie" <NWatanab@UNEX.UCLA.EDU>

Announcing a UCLA Extension Short Course...
Wavelet Transform: Techniques and Applications
March 7-11, 1994 at UCLA
OVERVIEW
For many years, the Fourier Transform (FT) has been used in a wide variety of
application areas, including multimedia compression of wideband ISDN for
telecommunications; lossless transform for fingerprint storage,
identification, and retrieval; an increased S/N ratio for target
discrimination in oil prospect seismic imaging; in-scale and
rotation-invariant pattern recognition in automatic target recognition; and
in-heart, tumor, and biomedical research.
This course describes a new technique, the Wavelet Transform (WT), that is
replacing the windowed FT in the applications mentioned above. The WT uses
appropriately matched bandpass kernels, called mother wavelets, thereby
enabling improved representation and analysis of wideband, transient, and
noisy signals. The principal advantages of the WT are 1) its localized nature
which accepts less noise and enhances the SNR, and 2) the new problem-solving
paradigm it offers in the treatment of nonlinear problems. The course covers
WT principles as well as adaptive techniques, describing how WTs mimic human
ears and eyes by tuning up "best mothers" to spawn "daughter" wavelets that
catch multi-resolution components to be fed the expansion coefficient through
an artificial neural network, called a wavenet. This in turn provides the
useful automation required in multiple application areas, a powerful tool
when the inputs are constrained by real-time sparse data (for example, the
"cocktail party" effect where you perceive a desired message from the
cacophony of a noisy party).
Another advancement discussed in the course is the theory and experiment for
solving nonlinear dynamics for information processing; e.g., the
environmental simulation as a non-real-time virtual reality. In other words,
real-time virtual reality can be achieved by the wavelet compression
technique, followed by an optical flow technique to acquire those wavelet
transform coefficients, then applying the inverse WT to retrieve the virtual
reality dynamical evolution. (For example, an ocean wave is analyzed by
soliton envelope wavelets.)
Finally, implementation techniques in optics and digital electronics are
presented, including optical wavelet transforms and wavelet chips.
COURSE MATERIALS
Course notes and relevant software are distributed on the first day of the
course. These notes are for participants only, and are not for sale.

The International Conference on Evolutionary Computation - The Third
Parallel Problem Solving from Nature (PPSN III) will be held in Jerusalem,
Israel between 9-14 October, 1994. This meeting will bring together an
international community from academia, government and industry interested
in algorithms suggested by the unifying theme of natural computation.
Natural computation is a common name for the design, theoretical and
empirical understanding of algorithms gleaned from nature. Characteristic
for natural computation is the metaphorical use of concepts, principles and
mechanisms underlying natural systems. Examples are genetic algorithms,
evolutionary programming and evolution strategies inspired by the evolutionary
processes of mutation, recombination, and natural selection in biology,
simulated annealing inspired by many-particle systems in physics, and
algorithms inspired by multi-cellular systems like neural and immune networks.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: evolution
strategies, evolutionary programming, genetic algorithms and classifier
systems, other forms of evolutionary computation, simulated annealing, neural
and immune networks, machine learning and optimization using these methods,
their relations to other learning paradigms, and mathematical description of
their behaviour.
The conference programme committee will particularly welcome application
papers dealing with these techniques to solve real problems in manufacturing,
design, planning and engineering providing these are of the highest level. The
application type of papers should either exhibit outstanding performance in
solving particular problems in contrast to other techniques or address real
problems of significant and unique importance to science.
5 hard copies of original work in the related topics typed in 12pt single
column and maximal length of 10 pages including all figures and references
should be sent to H.-P. Schwefel, programme co-chair by March 1, 1994. One
copy should contain the names of the authors, affiliation, and full addresses.
The remaining 4 copies should be anonymous and contain only the title and body
of paper including figures and references. This procedure is adopted to
enhance anonymous peer review.
The conference will be held in a kibbutz 10 minutes from the Old City of
Jerusalem on top of the Judean mountain range overlooking Bethlehem and
Jerusalem. The conference programme will include visits to historical,
religious and contemporary monuments in Israel.
IMPORTANT DATES:
March 1, 1994 - Submission of full paper
May 30, 1994 - Notification to authors
July 1, 1994 - Submission of revised, final camera ready papers

Program:
========
Local, memory-based learning methods store all or most of the training
data and predict new points by analyzing nearby training points (e.g.,
nearest neighbor, radial-basis functions, local linear methods). The
purpose of this workshop is to determine the state of the art in
memory-based learning methods and to assess current progress on
important open problems. Specifically, we will consider such issues
as how to determine distance metrics and smoothing parameters, how to
regularize memory-based methods, how to obtain error bars on
predictions, and how to scale to large data sets. We will also
compare memory-based methods with methods (such as multi-layer
perceptrons) that construct global decision boundaries or regression
surfaces, and we will explore current theoretical models of local
learning methods. By the close of the workshop, we will have
assembled an agenda of open problems requiring further research.
This workshop meets both days. Friday will be devoted primarily to
classification tasks, and Saturday will be devoted primarily to
regression tasks.
Please send us email if you would like to present something.
