Networks and Learning: MIT Industrial Liaison Program

On 15-16 November 1989, I attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Industrial Liaison Program entitled "Networks and Learning." The topic was neural networks, their power, potential, and promise. A dozen distinguished professors and researchers presented informative and entertaining talks to an audience of technically minded business executives and industrial researchers who subscribe to MIT's popular series of symposia offered through their Industrial Liaison Program. This informal report encapsulates the two-day event with a brief summary of each talk.
