         2nd Neural Computation and Psychology Workshop

          Connectionist Models of Memory and Language

             University of Edinburgh, Scotland

                10th - 13th September 1993


AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

This workshop is the second in a series, following on from last
year's very successful Neurodynamics and Psychology Workshop at
the University of Wales, Bangor.  This year it is to be hosted by
the Connectionism and Cognition Research Group at the University
of Edinburgh.  The general aim is to bring together researchers
from such diverse disciplines as neurobiology, psychology,
cognitive science, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics
and computer science to discuss their work on the connectionist
modelling of memory and language.  Likely special sessions include
memory, speech processes and models of reading. The workshop will
have an invited list of speakers and a limited number of
participants to allow single-track papers and ease of discussion.
It will run from the evening of Friday 10th through to lunch time
on Monday 13th.

PROVISIONAL SESSION CHAIRS AND INVITED SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

Bob Damper (Southampton)
Trevor Harley (Warwick)
Jacob Murre (APU, Cambridge)
Noel Sharkey (Exeter)
Leslie Smith (Stirling)
Keith Stenning (Edinburgh)
John Taylor (KC, London)
David Willshaw (Edinburgh)

POSTER SESSION

So that other participants have a chance of presenting their work
on connectionist models of memory and language we are including
refereed poster sessions. If interested, please send a one page
abstract with the registration form.
