There will be an afternoon of tutorial presentations (Dec 2) preceding the regular session and two days of focused workshops will follow at a nearby ski area (Dec 6-7). Major categories and examples of subcategories for paper submissions are the following; Neuroscience: Studies and Analyses of Neurobiological Systems, Inhibition in cortical circuits, Signals and noise in neural computation, Theoretical Biology and Biophysics. Theory: Computational Learning Theory, Complexity Theory, Dynamical Systems, Statistical Mechanics, Probability and Statistics, Approximation Theory. Implementation and Simulation: VLSI, Optical, Software Simulators, Implementation Languages, Parallel Processor Design and Benchmarks. Algorithms and Architectures: Learning Algorithms, Constructive and Pruning Algorithms, Localized Basis Functions, Tree Structured Networks, Performance Comparisons, Recurrent Networks, Combinatorial Optimization, Genetic Algorithms. Cognitive Science & AI: Natural Language, Human Learning and Memory, Perception and Psychophysics, Symbolic Reasoning. Visual Processing: Stereopsis, Visual Motion Processing, Image Coding and Classification. Speech and Signal Processing: Speech Recognition, Coding, and Synthesis, Text-to-Speech, Adaptive Equalization, Nonlinear Noise Removal. Control, Navigation, and Planning Navigation and Planning, Learning Internal Models of the World, Trajectory Planning, Robotic Motor Control, Process Control. Applications Medical Diagnosis or Data Analysis, Financial and Economic Analysis, Timeseries Prediction, Protein Structure Prediction, Music Processing, Expert Systems. Technical Program: Plenary, contributed and poster sessions will be held. There will be no parallel sessions. The full text of presented papers will be published. Submission Procedures: Original research contributions are solicited, and will be carefully refereed. Authors must submit six copies of both a 1000-word (or less) summary and six copies of a separate single- page 50-100 word abstract clearly stating their results postmarked by May 17, 1991. Accepted abstracts will be published in the conference program. Summaries are for program committee use only. At the bottom of each abstract page and on the first summary page indicate preference for oral or poster presentation and specify one of the above nine broad categories and, if appropriate, sub-categories (For example: Poster, Applications- Expert Systems; Oral, Implementation-Analog VLSI). Include addresses of all authors at the front of the summary and the abstract and indicate to which author correspondence should be addressed. Submissions will not be considered that lack category information, separate abstract sheets, the required six copies, author addresses, or are late. Mail Submissions To: Stephen J.
