Neural Information Processing Systems 2000
 
This is the fourteenth meeting of an interdisciplinary conference which brings together cognitive scientists, computer scientists, engineers, neuroscientists, physicists, and mathematicians interested in all aspects of neural processing and computation. The conference will include invited talks and oral and poster presentations of refereed papers. The conference is single track and is highly selective. Preceding the main session, there will be one day of tutorial presentations, and following it there will be two days of focused workshops on topical issues at a nearby ski area.




Next Meeting
