Canberra, Australia
The third Australian conference on neural networks will be held in
Canberra on February 3rd-5th 1992, at the Australian National University.
This conference is interdisciplinary, with emphasis on cross
discipline communication between Neuroscientists, Engineers, Computer
Scientists, Mathematicians and Psychologists concerned with understanding
the integrative nature of the nervous system and its implementation in
hardware/software. The categories for presentation and submissions
include:
1 - Neuroscience: Integrative function of neural networks in vision,
audition, motor, somatosensory and autonomic functions; Synaptic
function; Cellular information processing;
2 - Theory: Learning; generalisation; complexity; scaling; stability;
dynamics;
3 - Implementation: Hardware implementation of neural nets; Analog and
digital VLSI implementation; Optical implementations;
4 - Architectures and Learning Algorithms: New architectures and
learning algorithms; hierarchy; modularity; learning pattern
sequences; Information integration;
5 - Cognitive Science and AI: Computational models of cognition and
perception; Reasoning; Concept formation; Language acquisition;
Neural net implementation of expert systems;
6 - Applications: Application of neural nets to signal processing and
analysis; Pattern recognition: Speech, machine vision; Motor
control; Robotic;
ACNN'92 will feature an invited keynote speaker. The program will
include, presentations and poster sessions. Proceedings will be printed
and distributed to the attendees. There will be no parallel sessions.
