                    NEURAL INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS (NIPS)
                               -Natural and Synthetic-
                  Monday, November 30 - Thursday, December 3, 1992
                                  Denver, Colorado

          This is the sixth meeting  of  an  inter-disciplinary  conference
          which   brings   together  neuroscientists,  engineers,  computer
          scientists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and  mathematicians
          interested in all aspects of neural processing and computation. A
          day of tutorial presentations (Nov 30) will precede  the  regular
          session and two days of focused workshops will follow at a nearby
          ski  area  (Dec  4-5).   Major   categories   and   examples   of
          subcategories for paper submissions are the following; 

            Neuroscience:  Studies  and  Analyses   of   Neurobiological
            Systems,  Inhibition in cortical circuits, Signals and noise
            in  neural   computation,   Theoretical   Neurobiology   and
            Neurophysics.
            Theory: Computational Learning  Theory,  Complexity  Theory,
            Dynamical  Systems,  Statistical  Mechanics, Probability and
            Statistics, Approximation Theory.
            Implementation  and  Simulation:  VLSI,  Optical,   Software
            Simulators,  Implementation  Languages,  Parallel  Processor
            Design and Benchmarks.
            Algorithms   and   Architectures:    Learning    Algorithms,

            Memory, Perception and Psychophysics, Symbolic Reasoning.
            Visual Processing: Stereopsis, Visual  Motion,  Recognition,
            Image Coding and Classification.
            Speech and Signal Processing:  Speech  Recognition,  Coding,
            and   Synthesis,   Text-to-Speech,   Adaptive  Equalization,
            Nonlinear Noise Removal.
            Control, Navigation, and Planning: Navigation and  Planning,

            Structure Prediction, Music Processing, Expert Systems.

          The technical program will contain plenary, contributed oral  and
          poster  presentations  with  no parallel sessions.  All presented
          papers will be due (January 13, 1993)  after  the  conference  in
          camera-ready  format  and  will  be published by Morgan Kaufmann.
