CONNECTIONIST APPRAOCHES TO EXPERT SYSTEM LEARNING

 

I wish to hear about any research on the following topic:


      The application of connectionist models, in particular
      feature discovery networks (e.g. kohonen nets) to the
      problem of knowledge induction in expert systems.
 

Applications of connectionist models to other areas of symbolic 
processing or knowledge representation are also of interest.


I would be pleased to receive (via mail) the following information:

      1. A summary of what the research is attempting to achieve,
	 methods used and degree of success,

      2. how to obtain more detailed documentation (e.g. technical
	 reports),

      3. references on literature used for the research or which may
	 be of future interest.


I would also be interested to hear of anyone else with similar interests
who can contribute useful ideas or knows of any specific literature on
the subject.
