           "COLOUR PERCEPTION, MODELLING AND DISPLAY"

                     a one-day tutorial by
  
                       LINDSAY MACDONALD

                  organised by Eurographics UK.

    Friday 20 November 1992, at Cosenor's House, Abingdon, Oxford. UK.

DESCRIPTION: This tutorial will cover both theoretical and practical
aspects of the perception and use of colour in computer graphics and
imaging applications.  The morning sessions will provide an overview of how
we see, organise and model colour, with reference to recent research into
colour appearance modelling.  The afternoon sessions will deal with
displays and printing processes, with practical techniques for calibration
and colour control, plus guidelines for making the best use of colour for
the presentation of information in displays. The tutorial comprises four
modules, as follows:

   - Light, colour and human vision
   - Colour appearance and modelling
   - Reproduction of colour in display and print
   - Guidelines for using colour effectively in displays

LINDSAY MACDONALD is a Senior Consultant at Crosfield Electronics Ltd., the
world's leading supplier of electronic pre-press systems for high quality
reproduction of images in print.  His interests lie in colour modelling,
computer graphics, image processing and user interface design and he is the
holder of 16 patents in these fields.  He was project manager of the
CARISMA research project in collaboration with Loughborough University,
supported by the DTI under the IEATP programme.  He is also a member of the
BSI committee shadowing the development of ISO 9241 on the Ergonomics of
Visual Display Terminals and was invited recently by the EC to serve as a
technical evaluator for proposals in Esprit III.  He is a member of both
BCS and IEE.

Hi,

Does anyone know of or have any information regarding the availability
of summer internships/semester co-ops for undergraduate students
involving multimedia? 

I am a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University, double majoring in
Information Systems/CS Track and Music(Jazz Voice).  I am extremely
interested in getting work experience in Information Systems under the
auspices of the multimedia paradigm.  The visual aspects of multimedia
have already become an integral part of the business world, and I would
like to participate in the movement to imbue audio applications with the
same importance.

I live on Long Island, but relocating anywhere (including overseas) is
not a problem for me.

Any information that anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

(I posted this earlier but our mailer may have been failed.)

Does anyone know of any code (hopefully in common lisp) to
perform disjunctive unification?  I need to replace a (standard)
unifier in my natural language parser.  The sort of thing that
I need is:

((N +) (or (V +) (V -))) unify ((N +) (V -)) = ((N +) (V -))

where the "or" states that the V feature can be either "+" or "-".

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am working on a project to test two different kinds of signal processors
to see which would be better for a speech-recognition project we are working
on.  In order to have a (more or less) unbiased comparison we have determined
that we would like to train a NN to differentiate between pairs of spoken
letters (such as p vs d) to see which signal processor seems to give us the
best results when searching for place of articulation information.

Does anyone out there know of an existing package which could be usefull for
such a project.  It would be great if it had the following characteristics...

1) Works on a sun with x-11
2) ftp able
3) Low price (the cheaper the better)
4) able to recognize sequential patterns of input (ie give us a response on
   the basis input from a series of timeslices covering the length of the 
   utterance of a letter)

Many thanks for any help provided.

We have used a feed-forward backprop network to simulate ore grade
distribution. The problem is very simple. Input: (x,y) coordinates, output:
Z (grade). While the results were very good, there was a problem of scaling
down of data values which did not have a high frequency of occurence. But 
reality, very often these values at certain points (x,y) are know to be correct
values. My question: is there anyway to force the NN to remember these values
as being correct in the training process? I would welcome any comments or 
suggestioins. You may send your reply to: cyxzhou@ntuvax.ntu.ac.sg.
