The Competence/Performance Dichotomy in Programming
(1977-01-01)
We consider the problem of automating some of the duties of programmers. We take as our point of departure the claim that data management has been automated to the point where the programmer concerned only about the ...
Overlays: A Theory of Modelling for Computer Aided Instruction
(1977-02-01)
Overlay modelling is a technique for describing a student's problem solving skills in terms of modular program designed to be an expert for the given domain. The model is an overlay on the expert program in that it consists ...
The FRL Primer
(1977-07-01)
The Frame Representation Language (FRL) is an experimental language written to explore the use of frames as a knowledge representation technique. The term 'frame' as used in FRL was inspired by Minsky's [75] development ...
NUDGE, A Knowledge-Based Scheduling Program
(1977-02-01)
Traditional scheduling algorithms (using the techniques of PERT charts, decision analysis or operations research) require well-defined quantitative, complete sets of constraints. They are insufficient for scheduling ...
Occlusion Clues and Subjective Contours
(1976-06-01)
The paper describes some experiments with a visual agnosia patient who has lost the abillity to perceive subjective contours. The patient's interpretations of simple examples of occlusion indicate that he fails to ...
Development of Musical Intelligence II: Children's Representation of Pitch Relations
(1976-12-01)
The work reported here is an outgrowth of studies in the development of musical intelligence and learning that have been underway for about four years. Beginning as one of the activities in the LOGO Lab (a part of the ...
Proposal to the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(1976-05-01)
This is the substance of a proposal submitted in June, 1975, for research in the areas of large data bases and intelligent terminals, applications of machine vision and manipulation, basic studies in Artificial ...
The FRL Manual
(1977-09-01)
The Frame Representation Language (FRL) is described. FRL is an adjunct to LISP which implements several representation techniques suggested by Minsky's [75] concept of a frame: defaults, constraints, inheritance, procedural ...
Teaching of Procedures-Progress Report
(1972-10-01)
The idea of building a programmer is very seductive in that it holds the promise of massive bootstrapping and thus ties in with many ideas about learning and teaching. I will avoid going into those issues here. It is ...
Infants in Children Stories - Toward a Model of Natural Language Comprehension
(1972-08-01)
How can we construct a program that will understand stories that children would understand? By understand we mean the ability to answer questions about the story. We are interested here with understanding natural ...
