Connectionists: Extended DEADLINE: "60 Years of Weightless Neural Systems" at ESANN 2019

[Felipe Maia Galvao Franca]

Call for papers: special session on "60 Years of Weightless Neural Systems"
at ESANN 2019

European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational
Intelligence and Machine Learning (ESANN 2019).
24-26 April 2019, Bruges, Belgium - http://www.esann.org

Mimicking biological neurons by focusing on the decoding performed by the
dendritic trees is an attractive alternative to the integrate-and-fire
McCullogh-Pitts neuron stylisation. RAM-based, or Boolean neurons, and
weightless neural systems have been studied and applied in a broad spectrum
of situations, resulting in theoretical findings and the development of
exciting applications to an ample set of domains, ranging from natural
language processing to game playing, including memory transfer mechanisms,
biomedical applications, computational vision, hardware security, and
quantum learning.

The year of 2019 marks the 60-years anniversary of the seminal paper on
n-tuple classifiers by Bledsoe and Browning, as well as the 35-years of the
WiSARD model, and the tenth anniversary of the first special session on
weightless neural systems at ESANN. This session invites original
contributions on theoretical and practical aspects of weightless neural
systems at all levels of abstraction, as well as their relationship to
themes of current interest such as: deep learning, convolutional neural
models, adversarial learning, etc.
