Knowledge-Based Schematics Drafting: Aesthetic Configuration as a Design Task
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1987-01)
Depicting an electrical circuit by a schematic is a tedious task that is a good candidate for automation. Programs that draft schematics with the usual algorithmic approach do not fully exploit knowledge of circuit function, ...
Critical Analysis of Programming in Societies of Behaviors
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1986-12)
Programming in societies of behavior-agents is emerging as a promising method for creating mobile robot control systems that are responsive both to internal priorities for action and to external world constraints. It is ...
The Interaction Between Truth Maintenance, Equality, and Pattern-Directed Invocation: Issues of Completeness and Efficiency
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1987-05)
We have implemented a reasoning system, called BREAD, which includes truth maintenance, equality, and pattern-directed invocation. This paper reports on the solution of two technical problems arising out of the interaction ...
Readable Layout of Unbalanced N-ary Trees
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1986-08)
The automatic layout of unbounded n-ary tree structures is a problem of subjectively meshing two independent goals: clarity and space efficiency. This paper presents a minimal set of subjective aesthetics which insures ...
ACE: A Cliché-based Program Structure Editor
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1987-05)
ACE extends the syntax-directed paradigm of program editing by adding support for programming clichés. A programming cliché is a standard algorithmic fragment. ACE supports the rapid construction of programs through the ...
GROK Doc: An Image Display Tool
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1986-04-14)
The image display tool GROK provides a facility for displaying images on the black-and-white screen of a Symbolics 3600 monitor. It allows display of images and their manipulation through a special window it manages. Images ...
A Multi-Scale Generalization of the HoG and HMAX Image Descriptors for Object Detection
(2008-04-09)
Recently, several powerful image features have been proposed whichcan be described as spatial histograms of oriented energy. Forinstance, the HoG, HMAX C1, SIFT, and Shape Context feature allrepresent an input image using ...
Trajectory Analysis and Semantic Region Modeling Using A Nonparametric Bayesian Model
(2008-06-24)
We propose a novel nonparametric Bayesian model, Dual Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes (Dual-HDP), for trajectory analysis and semantic region modeling in surveillance settings, in an unsupervised way. In our approach, ...
A Planning System for Robot Construction Tasks
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-05)
This paper describes BUILD, a computer program which generates plans for building specified structures out of simple objects such as toy blocks. A powerful heuristic control structure enables BUILD to use a number of ...
ZigZag Decoding: Combating Hidden Terminals in Wireless Networks
(2008-04-08)
This paper presents ZigZag, an 802.11 receiver that combats hidden terminals. ZigZag exploits 802.11 retransmissions which, in the case of hidden terminals, cause successive collisions. Due to asynchrony, these collisions ...
