Fourth International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks Churchill College, Cambridge, UK 26-28 June 1995 ******************************************************************** ******************* Call for papers ************************ ******************************************************************** Objective This International Conference will produce an up-to-date report on the current state of research in the field of artificial neural networks. This will include theory fundamental structures, learning algorithms, implementation, vision, speech, robotics, control, medical and finance. The conference seeks original contributions spanning the entire field of neural networks. Suggestions for possible topics include: Architecture's and learning algorithms: Theory and design of neural networks, comparison with classical techniques. Applications and industrial systems: Vision and image processing, speech and language processing, communications systems, biomedical systems, robotics and control, financial and business systems. Implementations: hardware implementations (analogue and digital), VLSI devices or systems, optoelectronics Contributions Papers will be selected on the basis of wide audience appeal, ease of understanding and potential stimulation of broad ranging discussion. The quality of preparation and presentation expected will be very high. In addition to lecture theatre presentations a selection of papers will be presented in poster sessions. This has become an increasingly popular method of presentation as it offers good opportunities for one-to-one discussion. If you would prefer to present your paper in this way please indicate so when sending in your abstract, In addition please indicate which subject area (see list below) the abstract should be included in. Submissions should be in the form of an extended abstract up to 4 pages, to be received by the secretariat on or before 30 November 1994. The abstract must indicate clearly the novelty of the proposed contribution. Authors whose abstract are selected will be required to provide a typescript of a maximum of 6 pages by 31 March 1995. topic areas 1. Vision 2. Speech 3. Control and robotics 4. Biomedical 5.
