The NATO Advanced Study Institute From Statistics to Neural
Networks, Theory and Pattern Recognition Applications took place in
Les Arcs, Bourg Saint Maurice, France, from June 21 through July 2,
1993. The meeting brought to gether over 100 participants
(including 19 invited lecturers) from 20 countries. The invited
lecturers whose contributions appear in this volume are: L. Almeida
(INESC, Portugal), G. Carpenter (Boston, USA), V. Cherkassky
(Minnesota, USA), F. Fogelman Soulie (LRI, France), W. Freeman
(Berkeley, USA), J. Friedman (Stanford, USA), F. Girosi (MIT, USA
and IRST, Italy), S. Grossberg (Boston, USA), T. Hastie (AT&T,
USA), J. Kittler (Surrey, UK), R. Lippmann (MIT Lincoln Lab, USA),
J. Moody (OGI, USA), G. Palm (U1m, Germany), B. Ripley (Oxford,
UK), R. Tibshirani (Toronto, Canada), H. Wechsler (GMU, USA), C.
Wellekens (Eurecom, France) and H. White (San Diego, USA). The ASI
consisted of lectures overviewing major aspects of statistical and
neural network learning, their links to biological learning and
non-linear dynamics (chaos), and real-life examples of pattern
recognition applications. As a result of lively interactions
between the participants, the following topics emerged as major
themes of the meeting: (1) Unified framework for the study of
Predictive Learning in Statistics and Artificial Neural Networks
(ANNs); (2) Differences and similarities between statistical and
ANN methods for non parametric estimation from examples (learning);
(3) Fundamental connections between artificial learning systems and
biological learning systems."
