RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN NEURAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
Department of Mechanical Engineering
University of Glasgow
Scotland
It is expected that in the very near future approval will be
obtained for a research fellowship post in neural control systems.
The post is in connection with a three-year EC funded Basic Research
Project in the ESPRIT framework, and the start date is 1 April 1994.
The project is entitled Neural Adaptive Control Technology.
The project is in collaboration with Daimler-Benz Systems Technology
Research, Berlin, Germany. The opportunity will exist for close
cooperation with Daimler-Benz.
A study of the fundamental properties of neural network based
adaptive control systems will be carried out, where possible
exploiting the link with traditional adaptive control systems. A
major aim is to develop a systematic engineering procedure for
designing neural controllers for nonlinear dynamic systems. The
techniques developed will be evaluated on concrete industrial
problems.
To apply for this post send three copies of a CV, list of
publications, description of research interests and names and
addresses of two referees to Professor P J Gawthrop, Mechanical
Engineering, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ, Scotland. The
deadline for receipt of applications is 24 January 1994.
Informal enquiries are welcomed and should be directed to Professor
Gawthrop (Tel: + 44 41 339 8855, ext 4960, Email:

TECH REPORT -- VISUALIZATION TOOL -- ANIMATED VIDEO
- --------------------------------------------------------
Now Available by anonymous ftp:
- - A Technical Report entitled:
"An Animated Study of Learning Dynamics in the 14-2-14 Encoder"
by Paul Bakker and Janet Wiles.
- - An updated implementation of Lori Pratt's `Hyperplane Animator',
by Janet Wiles and Michael Norris.
Also:
- - An animated video that shows how we used the Hyperplane Animator
to study the learning dynamics of common varieties of Backpropagation (e.g.,
pattern update, soft targets, Quickprop, Conjugate Gradients) on
a popular benchmark task: the N-2-N encoder.
Further information on each item follows.
- ----------
1. The Technical Report is available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.uq.oz.au (`get' the file /pub/TECHREPORTS/department/TR0284.ps.Z).
Abstract:
This document accompanies a video of the same name originally presented
at ICANN'93 (Amsterdam) in September 1993. We use a modified version
of the {\em Hyperplane Animator} to visualize learning dynamics in the
14-2-14 encoder. The aim of the video is to demonstrate the effects of
common variations on standard Backpropagation (e.g., `soft' targets,
on-line updates), alternative cost functions (Cross Entropy, Exception
Error Function), alternative training algorithms (Conjugate Gradients,
Quickprop), and a new output pattern encoding, {\em Block Encoding}, on
the learning of the 14-2-14 encoder. The Hyperplane Animator provides a
`window' onto the learning dynamics of the encoder task, allowing us to
investigate the qualitative effects of variations on the learning
algorithm. In the case of the Exception Error Function and Block
Encoding, the animations verified our intuitions on how these
modifications would influence learning behaviour.
- -----------
2. The updated implementation of the Hyperplane Animator is
available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.uq.oz.au
(`get' the tar file /pub/pdp/ha/ha.tar.Z; after exiting ftp,
`uncompress ha.tar.Z' and then `tar xvf ha.tar'). The implementation is
in C and runs under X windows using the XView and Xlib libraries,
tested only (so far) on Sun SPARCstations.
The Hyperplane Animator animates the movement of internal pattern
representations and decision planes on a (2-dimensional) hidden unit
space, as learning progresses. See the Tech. Report for more detail.
- -----------
3. To order a copy of the video (15mins long, narrated, PAL or NTSC),
email bakker@cs.uq.oz.au for further details. A nominal fee (~US$8)
must unfortunately be charged to cover the cost of the videotape and
postage.
Ths video demonstrates the use of the Hyperplane Animator in
studying learning dynamics in a connectionist network's hidden layer.
By `learning dynamics' we mean the interplay of internal pattern
representations and decision planes during learning.
The video was made `in-house' by simply pointing a video
camera at the computer screen. It is therefore not of professional
quality, but is adequate for demonstration purposes. All copies
are first-generation, except for NTSC versions, which are second
generation.
- ----------
Please email us any questions, comments or problems.

Dear netters,
I am trying to install SNNS neural network simulator v. 3.1 in Silicon
Graphics X terminals.
But every time I try to start by "configure" - as stated in the
instruction manual it is giving the following problem :
X Libraries not found in /usr/local/X11R5/lib
Please enter full path of the X11 libraries
> /usr/lib/X11
X Libraries not found in /usr/lib/X11
Please enter full path of the X11 libraries

You may fetch our PC-based BP simulater, called BackProp 1.4
It's a mouse driven program which lets you design your nets in an
intuitive, graphical way. This limits it's use to nets of a smaller
size (<25), but it'll do for learning purpose.
It's implemeting some different BP-rules, including CG. It works for
anf feedforward structured nets, which must not be ordered in layers.
The program comes with no printed doc, but is equipped with a context
sensitive help facility. A VGA-card is recommended, EGA will do also.
You can find it on
nick-2.neuro.informatik.uni-kassel.de is 141.51.188.3,
Aliases: ftp.neuro.informatik.uni-kassel.de
in
/pub/NeuralNets/BackProp-1.4
where you find a LHA packed file. If you don't have LHA to unpack it,
you'll find a LHA-package also on our server.
The program runs on machines with and without a numerical coprozessor (x87).
For now only a binary is avaible, maybe we'll distribute the NN-part of
the prgram as PASCAL-source in the future.
** Since we have a large wold-map in our office where we collect **
** all the sites where people use our BackProp, please send us a **
** postcard so that we can put some more needles in the map. **

A S A P '94
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON APPLICATION-SPECIFIC
ARRAY PROCESSORS
22-24 August 1994
The Fairmont Hotel
San Francisco
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society
ASAP'94 is an international conference on application-
specific computing systems. This conference's lineage
traces back to the First International Workshop on Systolic
Arrays held in Oxford, England, in July 1986, and has con-
tinued through the International Conference on Application-
Specific Array Processors held in Venice, Italy, in Oct.
1993.
Areas for application-specific computing systems are
many and varied. Some samples areas follow: CAD tools; com-
putational biology, chemistry, geology, pharmacology, phy-
sics, and physiology; cryptography; data base, information
retrieval, and compression; electronic commerce; high-
performance networks; medical equipment; robotics and
prosthetics; signal and image processing.
Aspects of application-specific computing systems that
are of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Application-specific architectures
- Application-specific fault tolerance strategies
- Application-specific test & evaluation strategies
- CAD tools for application-specific systems
- Design methodology for application-specific systems
- Special-purpose systems for fundamental algorithms
- Implementation methodology & rapid prototyping
- Standard hardware components & software objects
- Systems software: languages, compilers, operating systems
The conference will present a balanced technical pro-
gram covering the theory and practice of application-
specific computing systems. Of particular interest are con-
tributions that either achieve large performance gains with
application-specific computing systems, introduce novel
architectural concepts, present formal and practical methods
for the specification, design and evaluation of these sys-
tems, analyze technology dependencies and the integration of
hardware and software components, or describe and evaluate
fabricated systems.
The conference will feature an opening keynote address,
technical presentations, a panel discussion, and poster
presentations. One of the poster sessions is reserved for
on-going projects and experimental systems.
INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
Please send 5 copies of your double-spaced typed
manuscript (maximum 5000 words) with an abstract to a Pro-
gram Co-Chair. Your submission letter should indicate which
of your paper's areas are most relevant to the conference,
