- Count me in. NSF supports connectionist, neural, and related research
- through several programs. The Division of Information, Robotics and
- Intelligent Systems has invested several $m over the past couple of
- years; The Division of Behavioral and Neural Sciences has supported
- such work for a decade; a new program is just starting in the Engineering
- Directorate. Proposals for all are on an unsolicited basis. They each have
- their own "flavor", roughly being computer-science, neuropsych, and electrical
- engineering, but don't worry too much about fine distinctions, and are eager
- to work together on very large of multi-disciplinary projects. I'll be happy
- to respond to inquiries. The overall committment of NSF to this field is
- directly related to the quality and quantity of proposals.

- [The October 1986 edition of the ACM's SIGART Newsletter (Special
- Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence) includes three items
- of interest for our group. MG]
-
- The first is an article titled "Toward Expert Systems on a Chip"
- by Looney, C. G. and Alfize, A.R.
-
- The other items are dissertation reports:
-
- ROUTH, RICHARD LEROY. Air Force Institute of Technology
- Ph.D. 1985, 414 pages. Cortical thought theroy: a
- working model of the human gestalt mechanism. DAI
- V46(10), Sec B, pp3518. University Microfilms Order
- Number ADG85-28149. Computer Science.
-
- SHASTRI, LOKENDRA. The University of Rochester Ph.D.
- 1985, 173 pages. Evidential reasoning in semantic
- networks: a formal theory and its parallel implemen-
- tation. DAI V46(10), Sec B, pp3519. University

- Subj: CONNECTIONISTS mailing list
-
- Since someone announced the existence of the CONNECTIONISTS mailing list on
- this digest, I have been getting requests for information from all sorts of
- people. CONNECTIONISTS is a restricted, non-moderated mailing list. It is
- open only to active researchers in the field (i.e., people who have
- published papers on connectionism or related topics), and their graduate
- students and postdocs. We are trying to restrict the message traffic to
- highly technical issues, and avoid philosophical flaming or requests for
- basic information from people who just learned about the field yesterday.
- The message traffic is very light, by design.
-
- It's great that Mike Gately has set up the NEURON digest to meet the needs
- of a broader audience. Many people will probably subscribe to both. If you
- would like to subscribe to CONNECTIONISTS and you have the required
- credentials, send mail to CONNECTIONISTS-REQUEST@C.CS.CMU.EDU and include
- your full name and a one-sentence description of your research. New
- subscribers are welcome. Note: if you sent in a request in the last few
- days, please resend it with the above information. Thanks.

- From: "NEURON@TI-CSL.CSNET"
- Subj: Taxonomy queston.
-
- [As a final entry in this edition of NEURON, I would like to
- stimulate some conversation by asking for any comments on the
- following taxonomy which I have been thinking about. MG]
-
- Artificial Intelligence -
- |- Search Techniques
- |- Pattern Matching
- |- Knowledge Representation
- |- Logic Based Systems
- | (Expert Systems, Inference,
- | Deduction, Production Systems,
- | much more here)
- |- Signal Processing
- | (Vision, Speech)
- |- Natural Language Research
- |- Robotics
- |- Connectionism -
- |- Locally Coupled Systems
- | (Cellular Automata)
- |- Globally Couples Systems
- | (Neural Networks,
- | Society(?))
-
- Have I mixed too many modes? Is each one necessary?, sufficient?
- Can all the entries above Connectionism be classified as symbolic
- processing?
-
- End of NEURON Digest
