                       AD 2000 and beyond

                      Three joint papers, concerning a statistical approach to radial basis
                      networks, with International Chess Master Mark Orr and his colleagues in 
                      A.I. are omitted as I did not substantively contribute. They appeared in
                      the International Journal for Neural Systems (1999, 2000). As far as I can
                      remember,  I contributed to the original grant proposal and talked with Mark
                      several times about Bayesian approaches to the problem, over  a drink. 
                     One of my junior  colleagues, who was also a boy scout leader, 
                     was supposed to be working on this joint research, but he got diverted 
                      by more pressing issues.
