Subject: brain and tensors

[[ Editor's Note: Faithful readers will remember the sometimes acrimonious
exchanges late last year (starting V8 #13) into early 1992 (V9 #8, #9,
#10, #14, #17). Without wishing to revive hard feelings, I do thank Dr.
Toth for bring to light the following reference. -PM ]]

Dear Sir,

May I draw attention to the following paper which I have recently come
accross. I venture to believe that it might have a bearing on a dispute,
which took place in your journal a few months ago, about pioneering the
application of tensors in brain research and its proper citation.

J.W. Lynn, Tensors on the brain. Electronics and Power, July 1970, pp.268-270.

I have found this reference in a paper on fast transform techniques (M.L.
Ritter, Topological structure in group transforms. In: G. Tacconi (ed.)
Aspects of Signal Processing, Part 2, D. Reidel Publ. Co.,
Dordrecht-Holland, 1977, pp. 639-647). May I also add that the above
paper by Lynn was cited with the comment: "The concepts of tensors and
topology in the brain are not new."

Yours faithfully,

[[ Editor's Note: I seem to remember some work by Touretsky and
colleagues a few years ago, but don't have the references handy.
Readers, can you help? -PM ]]

Dear Sir,
   We would like to know if there has been any work on Predicate Calculus
and neural nets. Specifically has there been any work on implementation
of Unification on a connectionist network ? We find the question of 
what is meant by variable binding on a neural net a particularly
difficult one.
                Thanking you,

From:    ullas@helios.ee.usu.edu (Ullas Gargi)
Date:    Sat, 26 Sep 92 02:57:06 -0700

Hi,

I am trying to implement a Backprop. network for a net that is not fully
inter-connected. Will the weight updation algorithm (the Generalized
Delta Rule) change for this configuration? Or can I go ahead and use the
same algorithm, with nodes in adjecent layers that are not connected, not
affecting each other regarding weight changes ?

                Multi-Module Neural Computing Environment
                                (MUME)

MUME is a simulation environment for multi-modules neural computing. It
provides an object oriented facility for the simulation and training 
of multiple nets with various architectures and learning algorithms.

MUME includes a library of network architectures including feedforward,
simple recurrent, and continuously running recurrent neural networks.
Each architecture is supported by a variety of learning algorithms.

MUME can be used for large scale neural network simulations as it provides
support for learning in multi-net environments. It also provide pre- and
post-processing facilities.

The object oriented structure makes simple the addition of new
network classes and new learning algorithms. New classes/algorithms can be
simply added to the library or compiled into a program at run-time. The
interface between classes is performed using Network Service Functions
which can be easily created for a new class/algorithm.

The architectures and learning algorithms currently available are:


        Class                           Learning algorithms
        ------------                    -------------------

Other general purpose classes include (viewed as nets):

        o       DC source
        o       Time delays
        o       Random source
        o       FIFOs and LIFOs
        o       Winner-take-all
        o       X out of Y classifiers

The modules are provided in a library. Several "front-ends" or clients are
also available.

MUME can be used to include non-neural computing modules (decision 
trees, ...) in applications.

The software is the product of a number of staff and postgraduate students
at the Machine Intelligence Group at Sydney University Electrical
Engineering. It is currently being used in research, research and
development and teaching, in ECG and ICEG classification, and speech and
image recognition. As such, we are interested in institutions that
can exploit the tool (especially in educational courses) and build up on it.

The software is written in 'C' and is being used on Sun and DEC 
workstations. Efforts are underway to port it to the Fujitsu VP2200 
vector processor using the VCC vectorising C compiler.

MUME is made available to research institutions on media/doc/postage cost
arrangements. Information on how to acquire it may be obtained by writing

Subject: Werner Reichardt
From:    Jack Cowan <cowan@synapse.uchicago.edu>
Date:    Tue, 29 Sep 92 14:58:17 -0600

It is with great regret that I have to announce the death of Werner
Reichardt.  Werner was a student in Berlin at the outbreak of WW II and
fought against the Nazis in the German underground. He was captured by
the Gestapo but saved by the Russians shortly before his scheduled
execution. Werner began his career as a post doc with Max Delbruck at
CalTech, but first became known for his work with Bernard Hassenstein on
motion detection.  He set up the Max Planck Institute for Biological
Cybernetics in the early 60s and founded the journal Kybernetik, now
known as Biological Cybernetics.  He produced a great deal of excellent
pioneering work on Fly vision, especially with Tommy Poggio.  He will be
greatly missed by his many friends, of whom I count myself fortunate to
have been one.  Jack Cowan

Subject: Werner Reichardt
From:    KOCH@IAGO.CALTECH.EDU
Date:    30 Sep 92 09:28:03 -0800

I would like to second what Jack wrote about the importance of Werner
Reichardt's work. His second-order, correlation model (know today simply
as the Reichardt model) for motion detection in bettles and flies (first
postulated in 1956 in a joint publication with Hassenstein) is, together
with the Hodgkin-Huxley equations, one of the oldest and most successful
models in neurobiology. He and his group over the last 30 years amassed
both behavioral and electropyhysiological evidence supporting such a
model for the fly. More recent work on the intensity-based, short-range
motion perception system in humans (Adelson-Bergen, Watson-Ahumada, Van
Santen-Sperling) uses the same formalism as does the fly correlation
model. Furthermore, at the electrophysiological level, a number of
studies support the notion of such detectors in area 17 in cats.

One could therefore argue that we have good evidence that Reichardt's
correlation model---in which the linearly filtered output of one
receptors is multiplied by the spatially offset and temporally delayed
filtered output of a neighbouring receptor---describes the first stage in
the motion pathway, from flies to humans.  That's quite a legacy to leave
behind.

Subject: Looking for literatur reference
From:    jochenr@theory.informatik.uni-kassel.de (Jochen Ruhland)
Date:    Thu, 01 Oct 92 16:52:48 +0000

I'm looking for literature on the following two topics dealing with training
of Feed-Forward Neural Networks:

        1) Changeing the network layout, adding/deleting hidden units or
           connections between them.

        2) Using genetic algorithms to train Neural Networks.

As part of my Diplom I'm trying to use GA to build Neural Networks from
scratch, starting only with a bunch of hidden units and some connections.
For the moment I'm using a fixed number of pieces and plan to add some
change to that.

I plan to collect all the references I get and put it back to the Digest.

Any Input welcome, thanks in advance

Date:    Thu, 01 Oct 92 15:17:04 -0600

Dear Connectionists,

Thank you for responding to my request for sources on applying artificial
neural networks to problems in the electric power industry.  Following is
a list of 55 sources.  There are another 57 papers in the "Proceedings of
the First International Forum on Applications of Neural Networks to Power
Systems," Seattle, Washington, July 23-26, 1991, published by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).  Also, the
Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the International Neural
Network Society (INNS) held a workshop entitled "Neural Network Computing
for the Electric Power Industry" at Stanford University in Stanford,
California on August 17-19, 1992.

Several of you mentioned that the IEEE Power Engineering Society has a
task force to compile a similar bibliography.  Reports are that there are
over 170 sources in that project.

Though some companies claim to be working on commercial applications (and
I was able to verify one company's claim), they all asked to remain
unpublished until such products are marketed.  So be watching for these
products to hit the market.
