I think, like the reviewer of Bruce Ballard 's previous paper, that he wants the moon. However , as one who has tried, for the purposes of lecturing, to extract concrete system descriptions with workedthrough examples f rom published material , I think he is right to call for bet ter standards. Alan Bundy (1981) has made a similar appeal for AI in general. I t ' s impor tant , in part icular, t...

R700 Current Biology 25, R693–R710, Augu Ballard roots his development in the language of computation, the only tool available with which we can express the full breadth of necessary concepts, from mathematics to logic, representations, input and output, algorithms, control, systems, memory, interaction, and more (see also [8]). He uses this full breadth of computational methodologies far more ...

Generalised anxiety disorder is the most common late-life psychiatric disorder. It has a community prevalence of 2–7%, and a prevalence of around 10% in patients presenting to primary care (Beekman 1998). In people with dementia, however, the rate rises to between 38 and 72% (Ballard 2000). Many studies have looked at factors influencing the presentation of anxiety in dementia. No relationship ...

Dana H. Ballard This paper provides a systematic analysis of the recurrent backpropagation (RBP) algorithm, introducing a number of new results. The main limitation of the RBP algorithm is that it assumes the convergence of the network to a stable fixed point in order to backpropagate the error signals. We show by experiment and eigenvalue analysis that this condition can be violated and that c...
