KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Professor Leon Cohen
Title: Time-Frequency-Scale Description of Signals

Leon Cohen received the B. S. degree from City College
in 1962 and the Ph.D. degree from Yale University in 1966.
He is currently Professor of Physics at
The City University of New York.  He has done
research in mathematical physics, astronomy, quantum mechanics,
chemical physics, and signal analysis. He recently published a book on
the subject: ``Time-Frequency Analysis'' (Prentice-Hall)
Dr. Cohen is a fellow of the American Physical Society.


Associate Professor Paul Compton
Title: Incremental knowledge acquisition - Can the knowledge 
engineering bottleneck be overcome?

Paul Compton is an Associate Professor and Head of the 
School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of 
New South Wales, and is a member of the School's Dept. of 
Artificial Intelligence. He is a member of the editorial board of 
the International Journal of Human Computer Studies and has 
been on the organising committee or a co-chair of various 
international KA workshops (including the Pacific Rim 
Knowledge Acquisition Workshop to be held in Sydney in 
October 1996). His main research interest apart from KA is in 
AI tools to support the development of new scientific 
hypotheses. 

Associate Professor Douglas Cochran 
Doug Cochran is an Associate Professor of Electrical 
Engineering at Arizona State University. He is General Chair 
of ICASSP 99 to be held in Phoenix, Arizona. He has been at 
ASU for 7 years. Prior to that he was a Senior Scientist at Bolt, 
Beranek and Newman Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His 
principal areas of interest are mathematical signal and image 
analysis, detection theory and robust communication systems.

TUTORIALS

Time-Frequency Analysis
Professor Leon Cohen, City University of New York

Time varying spectra is one of the most primitive
sensations we experience since we are surrounded by light
of changing color, by sounds of varying pitch, and by many other
phenomena whose periodicities change.  Hence the need to  describe
how the spectral content of a signal  is changing in time, and
to develop the physical and mathematical ideas needed to understand
what a time-varying spectrum is. We will describe why this is an
elegant and challenging problem, and the immense strides that have
recently been made. In addition, we will demonstrate,
using real examples, the immense practical applications
over the last few years in such areas as biomedical signals,
geophysical signals, machine fault detection, sonar,
pattern recognition, and speech processing.




Knowledge Acquisition and Maintenance with Ripple 
Down Rules
Assoc Prof Paul Compton, University of New South Wales

The aim of this tutorial is teach participants a simple but 
powerful knowledge acquisition (KA) technique, Ripple Down 
Rules (RDR). The tutorial will cover the following topics: 
problems in knowledge acquisition and situated cognition, 
basic principles of RDR, RDR case studies, problems with 
RDR, induction and RDR, multiple classification RDR, 
configuration RDR, explanation and RDR, data modelling and 
RDR and an opportunity to use some RDR systems.

Rule-Extraction from Trained  Neural Networks for 
Development of Fuzzy Classifiers
Dr Saman Halgamuge, University of South Australia

This tutorial will cover the following issues: an introduction to 
fuzzy system models and neural networks for classification, 
intelligent systems applicable to data analysis, methods of 
designing fuzzy systems and application examples.

An Introduction to Intelligent Control
Dr Cheng-Chew Lim, University of Adelaide
Dr Sanjay Mazumdar, DSTO (Australia)

The following topics will be covered in this tutorial: modelling 
of dynamic systems using neural networks, commonly used 
neural control techniques, robustness and stability issues, 
neural control applications, fuzzy set theory, fuzzy logic 
control and fuzzy logic control applications. Some comments 
on the software tools available for intelligent control will also 
be provided.
