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