Murphy" 1. The Second Data Generation Program - DGP/2 -- Generates instances around peaks and allows for specification of the mean and standard deviations in the normally distributed data. -- Generates application domains based on specific parameters: number of features, and proportion of positive to negative examples. -- Allows for variations in the number of instances, the range of feature values, the number of peaks, the percent of positive instances desired and a radius around the peaks that these instances fall within. - Patrick (pmurphy@ics.uci.edu) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 May 91 08:15:11 pdt From: Elan Moritz Subject: Journal of Ideas * Journal of Ideas * published by The Institute for Memetic Research PO Box 16327, Panama City, Florida 32406-1327 USA Editors Editorial Advisory Board -------- ------------------------ Elan Moritz R.

Areas covered include: 1) dynamical and structural theories of idea and meme generation, mutation, combination, spread and dissolution, 2) knowledge generation, representation, and storage in living and artificial systems, 3) cognition and self-awareness in living and artificial systems 4) generalized theories of life, evolution, and ecology in biological, mechanical and electronic systems, 5) classical and quantum mechanical theories of brain/mind interactions, 6) human and machine creativity and, 7) results of experiments in the preceding areas. The Journal publishes research communications, critical reviews, short notes, book reviews, and relevant historical material. The Journal is geared to a diverse audience coming from classical disciplines such as physics, biology, evolutionary and ecological studies, psychology, anthropology, computer science, mathematics, and philosophy. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 May 91 13:47:40 CDT From: Gregg Collins Subject: ML91 now takes credit cards!
