A small connectionist meeting, "ConnectFest 1990", was recently held at
Indiana University.  Here are selected highlights from the official
proceedings.  The full proceedings (about 3-4 times the size of this) are
available on request from dave at cogsci.indiana.edu.

The Frank Rosenblatt Memorial Award for best contribution was taken by
Tim van Gelder, who has bravely allowed his name to be attached to his
contribution at great risk to his career.

Said the Boltzmann machine to the whore,
When his temperature reached sixty-four,
"This is such a great feeling
I've slowed down my annealing.
That way there's more time to explore."
                                    -- Mike Gasser

The folks from the journal Cognition 
Weren't more than a bad apparition.
All's left of Fodor
Is just a bad odor,
And nobody's missin' Pylyshyn.
                                    -- Tim van Gelder
