- Howdy all,
-
- I am a Master's student at Brown University. I expect to be graduating
- towards the end of 1993. I am very seriously considering getting a PhD
- in the area of machine learning, with a strong cognitive science
- emphasis. So, I am looking around for schools which have programs in
- this area. Among particular concerns of mine are the following:
-
- 1. Since, I will have an M.S., I want a program that will
- not require me to take the usual year of courses that PhD
- students need, since I will have already done so.
-
- 2. I would like a program which places a strong emphasis on
- doing things in a bilogically feasible way, in other words
- one with a cognitive science flavor. If the program also dealt
- with actual real world applications of learning methods, that
- would be a big plus.
-
- 3. I am particularly interested in connectionist learning,
- and especially with maintaining domain information in such
- a context.
-
- 4. Also, if I could somehow have my Master's thesis fulfill
- a part of the research requirement for a PhD that would be
- nice.
-
- 5. Of course, I would like to find a school with a strong
- research program and a strong faculty.
-
- Thanks in adavance for all responses. I would prefer email, but any
- sort of a response would be much appreciated.
-
- Harry.
