Dear Fellow Connectionists,
I have been involved for some years in research about
Cellular Neural Networks (CNNs), i.e., in the broadest sense, NNs
where neurons are only connected to neighboring units. CNNs can be
easily realized in IC technique by profiting of their spatially
defined structure. Such networks, first introduced by
Prof.L.O. Chua, of U.C. at Berkeley have been successfully applied
to many image processing tasks.
I have served in the scientific committees of the past IEEE
International Workshops on CNNs and their Applications in Budapest
in 1990, and in Munich in 1992.
We would like to get in contact to other researchers
working at similar topics, so as to establish a more specialistic
mailing list to cooperate on CNN research.
At present we are working on the following topics:
- gradient descent and genetic learning for CNNs;
- generalization and information storage in CNN learning;
- simulation of physical systems governed by partial differential
equations;
- cellular networks of oscillators.
Among our publications concerning CNNs are the following:
1) M. Balsi, "Generalized CNN: Potentials of a CNN with
Non-Uniform Weights", Proceedings of IEEE Second International
Workshop on Cellular Neural Networks and their Applications
(CNNA-92), Munich, Germany, Oct. 14-16, 1992, 129-134
2) A. Barone, M. Balsi, V. Cimagalli, "Cellular Networks of
Oscillators", Proceedings of CNNA-92, 246-251
3) T. Roska, C.W. Wu, M. Balsi, L.O. Chua, "Stability and Dynamics
of Delay-Type General and Cellular Neural Networks", IEEE Trans.
on Circuits and Systems 39(6), 487-490 (1992)
4) V. Cimagalli, M. Bobbi, M. Balsi, "MODA: Moving Object
Detecting Architecture", IEEE Trans on Circuits and Systems, II,
40(3) (1993).
5) T. Roska, C.W. Wu, M. Balsi, L.O. Chua, "Stability of CNNs with
Dominant Nonlinear and Delay-type Templates", IEEE Trans on
Circuits and Systems, II, 40(3) (1993).
6) M. Balsi, "Stability of CNNs with One-Dimensional Templates",
to be published in Intl. J. of Circ. Th. and Appl. (1993).
We can provide hardcopies of these papers upon request.
I shall be looking forward for your replies. Yours,
Prof. Valerio Cimagalli
