I do! We are currently working with a connectionist model that can learn simple
naming tasks based on visual and acoustic input. The model is designed such as
to roughly account for several observations on child language acquisition, e.g.
Ellen Markman's constraints children put on word meaning, or K. Nelson's
hypotheses about the influence of language on the acquistion of concept 
taxonomies.

There is a paper in this year's Cognitive Science conference proceedings:

  Dorffner  G.:  Taxonomies  and  Part-Whole   Hierarchies   in   the
      Acquisition of Word Meaning - A Connectionist Model, in Proceedings
      of the  Fourteenth  Annual  Conference  of  the  Cognitive  Science
      Society, Lawrence Erlbaum, Hillsdale, NJ, pp.803-808, 1992.

It looks like we finally have a book available in the academic discipline of
neural networks. "Introduction to Artificial Neural Systems", by J. M. Zurada,
published recently (1992) by West, explains in detail how learning machines
called neural networks work. Comprehensive, fine, unified, lucid exposition and
numerous examples have provided me with a very good understanding and
appreciation for artificial neural systems. I therefore strongly recommend this
book to serious students and neural network modelers. Other strengths of this
book include great figures, complete algorithms (just to be implemented), and a
diskette with software (source code & program compiled for PC),

To save your time, here are the numbers where you could order the book:
1-800-328-9352 (domestic USA), or
612-687-7302 (foreign and all fax orders).

  One problem that may cause this (other than carelessness) is that there
is no (as far as I know) standardized C++.    In any case, if this
is true, it is better to describe the principles, rather than have
the person just copy code.

The NN package could be a commercial or public domain package,

data from about ten sources, weight them according to pre-defined
values for each kind of data, and then send data back out to
control servo motors. I realize that this will involve a custom
program with multiple subsystems, one subsystem for each category
of data input and each output.
	I guess what I want is information, of any type, on 
programs that do something similar to this, so I can see how they
work and build one that does exactly what I want it to do.
