Add to this the following paper:

A. Sankar and R.J. Mammone, " A fast learning algorithm for tree
neural networks", presented at the 1990 Conference on Information
Sciences and Systems, Princeton, NJ, March 21,22,23, 1990. 

This will appear in the conference proceedings. We also have a more
detailed technical report on this research.
