Dear prospective participant,

Enclosed find the announcement of a 1995 Workshop on Neural Networks 
which will complement the other workshops in the 1995 program at the 
Telluride Summer Research Center. The workshop will take place from 
July 2 to July 9, and will be devoted to aspects of neural networks. 
While the list of topics will vary to reflect the interests of the 
participants, the list will include: 
         
        THEORY:
        Generalization, ensembles, unsupervised learning.
        Extremely ill-posed learning and high dimensional data sets.
        
        APPLICATIONS:
        Medical imaging (PET) and time series processing.                             

        
The format of the sections is to take a prepared one hour talk and turn it
into a careful and detailed cross examination lasting 4-5 hours. This format
has proven in the past years to be an outstanding way to rapidly understand
new ideas and we invite you to share in the learning experience that viewing
each other's work under such scrutiny can provide. The discussions aim to be
constructive rather than critical, and all possible attempts will be made
to relate the topics to the open problems of the workshop. 

Individual participants are expected to provide their own salaries.
Academic and research institutions have recognized the value of
participation in the Center's activities and have been willing to pay for
work performed at the Center. The Summer Research Center helps arrange
for housing thereby obtaining reduced rates for the participants and
families. 

>>>>>>   OBS!: Respond promtly to increase the chances of getting 
              inexpensive  housing!!

A registration fee is charged all participants (100$ for one week, 125$ for 
two or more weeks). The fee may be waived in special circumstances. Anybody 
requiring official letters of invitation should contact the organizers
specifying 
their needs.

The Center offers an excellent way to meet collaborators from other
institutions through coordinated visits. Extended stays are thus recommended. 
The Telluride locale, situated in an unspoiled valley near 4200 m high 
mountain peaks in the south west corner of Colorado, 
offers ample outdoor attractions making such stays enjoyable 
for the families as well.

If you think you may be intested or would like to remain on our mailing
list for future years, please indicate so on the enclosed form and 
return it to one of the organizers before April 5'th 1995. If you know of 
other colleagues who may be interested, please pass a copy to them or 
include their name and address.

Sincerely,

Lars Kai Hansen, Peter Salamon, and Christian Van den Broeck.
