Hi eyerybody:
I'm interesting in facial expression analysis.
Are there any facial expression images available on ftp sites?
(facial expression: smile, angry, sad, suprising ... )
Thanks for any messages !

Subject: Eigenproblems survey
Keywords: eigenproblem
Dear colleagues, I am thinking for writing a survey concerning
the variety of eigenproblems (both dense and sparse) and in most
their applications in modern technology research and development.
I have gathered a file of the related textbooks and articles that
comprise state-of-the-art in computing eigenproblems as themselves;
but still lack of information about up-to-date developing applications.
Anyone who are involved would they like to send me a very short
notes underlining your direct experience in this branch: the note
would cover a very terse description of the related application or
perhaps a hint for possible applications, the particular kind of
eigenproblem derived, matrix class, if possible an algorithm used,
perhaps literature references and references to numerical libraries
or other algorithm's implementations which were or would be used
to solve such a particular kind of an eigenproblem, any difficulties
or problems arisen, any suggestions, etc...
For unfortunately I would not be able to scan through all the
news-groups where the poster was submitted, I am asking for a
copy sent right to me as well.
All the replies would be sincerely appreciated.

Description of the CNS Department:
The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) provides advanced
training and research experience for graduate students interested in the
neural and computational principles, mechanisms, and architectures that
underlie human and animal behavior, and the application of neural network
architectures to the solution of technological problems. Students are trained
in a broad range of areas concerning cognitive and neural systems, including
vision and image processing; speech and language understanding; adaptive
pattern recognition; cognitive information processing; self-organization;
associative learning and long-term memory; computational neuroscience; nerve
cell biophysics; cooperative and competitive network dynamics and short-term
memory; reinforcement, motivation, and attention; adaptive sensory-motor
control and robotics; active vision; and biological rhythms; as well as the
mathematical and computational methods needed to support advanced modeling
research and applications. The CNS Department awards MA, PhD, and BA/MA
degrees.
The CNS Department embodies a number of unique offerings. It has developed a
curriculum that features twelve interdisciplinary graduate courses each of
which integrates the psychological, neurobiological, mathematical, and
computational information needed to theoretically investigate fundamental
issues concerning mind and brain processes and the applications of neural
networks to technology. Each course is typically taught once a week in the
evening to make the program available to qualified students, including
working professionals, throughout the Boston area. Nine additional research
course are also offered. In these courses, one or two students meet
regularly with one or two professors to pursue advanced reading and
collaborative research. Students develop a coherent area of expertise by
designing a program that includes courses in areas such as Biology, Computer
Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Psychology, in addition to courses in
the CNS Department.
The CNS Department prepares students for PhD thesis research with scientists
in one of several Boston University research centers or groups, and with
Boston-area scientists collaborating with these centers. The unit most
closely linked to the department is the Center for Adaptive Systems (CAS).
Students interested in neural network hardware work with researchers in CNS,
the College of Engineering, and at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Other research
resources include distinguished research groups in neurophysiology,
neuroanatomy, and neuropharmacology at the Medical School and the Charles
River campus; in sensory robotics, biomedical engineering, computer and
systems engineering, and neuromuscular research within the Engineering
School; in dynamical systems within the Mathematics Department; in
theoretical computer science within the Computer Science Department; and in
biophysics and computational physics within the Physics Department.
In addition to its basic research and training program, the Department offers
a colloquium series, seminars, conferences, and special interest groups which
bring many additional scientists from both experimental and theoretical
disciplines into contact with the students.

Subject: CFP: 'Reasoning About Function' Track at FLAIRS '95, Florida
CALL FOR PAPERS
"Reasoning About Function"
track to be held during
Florida AI Research Symposium (FLAIRS 95)
at Melbourne Beach, Florida
on April 27-29, 1995.
Submission: 2000 word paper by ftp by November 15th
Notification to Authors: January 7th, 1995
Camera Ready Copy due: March 1st, 1995
The explicit representation and use of the function (purpose)
of an object, either as intended by its designer or as interpreted
by its user, is emerging as a focal point of problem solving in
fields as diverse as Device Invention, Redesign, Diagnosis,
Explanation Generation and Automatic Debugging. Explicit treatment
of function has proven to be very useful because of its potential
to organize and provide access to causal knowledge of the object
(eg., focuses on missing causality during redesign), because of the
improved focus it brings to the reasoning process (eg., discriminates
among suspects during diagnosis) and because of its utility in
addressing the scaling problem.
To date, function-based knowledge has been successfully
applied in several domains, a few of them being Software
Engineering, Human Physiology, Medicine, Architecture, Law,
and various fields of engineering such as Electrical,
Aerospace and Chemical Engineering.
This track is hoped to provide a forum for researchers to exchange
ideas, swap notes across domains, and present their experiences.
Papers of interest to this track are:
* Reasoning techniques that use function
* Representation formalisms for function
* Applications of function: reports, results
PS: If you are not sure whether your paper fits into the above topic,
please refer to the following reports for clarification. These are
reports from a previous workshop on "Reasoning About Function", held
at AAAI-93:
* AI Magazine, 15(1): Spring 94 issue, pp 64-65
* SIGART Bulletin 5(3): July 94 issue, pp 49-51
SUBMISSION DETAILS:
Maximum Length: 2000 words
