<DIV><FONT size=2> The Thirteenth International Conference on
Neural Information Processing <BR>(ICONIP2006) sponsored by the Asia Pacific
Neural Network Assembly (APNNA) and <BR>organized by The Chinese University of
Hong Kong, will be held in Hong Kong on <BR>October 3-6, 2006. You are
invited to visit this vibrant and dynamic <BR>metropolitan to share the progress
and research in neural computation, <BR>statistical processing, machine
learning, and other related topics. ICONIP2006<BR>will include plenary
speakers, invited talks, tutorials, special sessions, as <BR>well as highly
selected oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. In<BR>addition,
conference social events along with other local attractions will <BR>promote
interactions among conference delegates.</FONT></DIV>
