We still have some openings for interested researchers to attend the
1998 IEEE Workshop on Neural Networks for Signal Processing, which this
year will be held in beautiful Cambridge, UK, on August 31st to
September 2nd 1998. We have a very interesting program, including many
papers on blind signal processing, biomedical processing, speech, time
series prediction etc. This note includes the preliminary program,
registration information and a registration form. More information can
be found at our website:-
