I am researching with the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in the field of Neural 
Network Signal Processing. The intention is to utilise the nets to control a computer 
generated image of a human face so as to provide lip synchronisation with a vocal 
sound-track. The research is concerned with the architecture and algorithmic 
processing of the net and I do not wish to develop the input and output features of the 
system. Therefore there exist a few items which I would rather simple acquire and use 
instead of spending time creating them. If anyone could assist me in these matters it 
would be greatly appreciated.

1.	Phoneme recogniser from textual and/or vocal input
2.	Wire frame model of the human face (a polygonal structure representing the 
face in which the user can move certain 'feature' points in order to create different 
facial and lip sync. images)

In addition I would be interested to hear from anyone with knowledge in the field of:

1.	Grammar recognition and sentence structure segmentation
2.	Speech recognition with a view to segment sentences and extract phoneme 
content
3.	Image compression and recognition with particular reference to the human 
face
4.	Neural network packages available commercially or from the Web

I will be presenting some of my work at the University of Cambridge Programme for 
Industry Neural Network Summer School 24 to 27 July 1995 if anyone is interested, 
otherwise I am current constructing a Web page and I can provide you with the URL.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message
