One-Day Workshop on Mathematical Theory of Neural Networks
 Organizers: Pascal Koiran (DIMACS) and Eduardo Sontag (Math Dept, Rutgers)
		Rutgers University, Piscataway, 8 July 1994

This one-day workshop will focus on theoretical results regarding neural
networks.  There will be 5 invited talks.  The style will be informal, with
discussions expected during and between talks.  Attendance is free of charge,
but we request that those interested in attending let their intention be known
* immediately* to:

     toci@dimacs.rutgers.edu  (Pat Toci)

The workshop will be held in the RUTCOR conference room on Busch campus 
in Piscataway. The one-floor RUTCOR building is next to the Sonny Werblin 
Recreation Center and accross the parking lots from the CORE building.

Piscataway is very close to New Brunswick, where the COLT and ML conferences 
will be held from July 10 to July 15. The campus is easily accessible from 
downtown New Brunswick by car or by bus.

This workshop is sponsored by DIMACS.
