This working paper describes a program on the Mini-Robot PDP-11 which is used for looking at picture files created by the VIDIN program. It may be used by ITS vision programmers to examine Vidicon picture files before ...

This paper discusses the problem of getting a computer to speak, generating natural language that is appropriate to the situation and is what it wants to say. It describes, at a general level, a program which will embody ...

The intent of this paper is to convey one idea central to the structure of a natural language parser currently under development, the notion of wait-and-see strategies. This notion will hopefully allow the recognition of ...

I have just completed teaching two sections of 6.011 (Elementary Network Theory). One of the topics covered was synthesis of active filters by the "method of unilateral 2-ports". The explanation of this technique by the ...

A new approach to building descriptions of English is outlined and programs implementing the ideas for sentence-sized fragments are demonstrated.

This paper is a reprint of a sketch of an electronic-circuit-designing program, submitted a a Ph.D. proposal. It describes the electronic design problem with respect to the classic trade-off between expertise and generality. ...

The programs SNAP and ZSLAVE are components of a new grey scale display system. The object is to produce photographs, from a computer display, which have grey scale resolution comparable to that of a the visual input devices ...

This paper describes the basic geometry of the electric manipulator designed for the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Victor Scheinman while on leave from Stanford University. The procedure for finding a set of joint ...

This working paper describes the mini-robot group's X-Y table and associated hardware.

This paper proposes three research topics within the general framework of Automatic Programming. The projects are designing (1) a student programmer, (2) a robot programmer and (3) a physicist's helper. The purpose of these ...

The problem of hidden-line drawings of scenes composed of opaque polyhedra is considered. The use of Huffnan labeling is suggested as a method if simplifying the task and increasing its intuitive appeal. The relation between ...

The differential diagnosis of hematuria, blood in the urine, is studied from the point of view of identifying crucial structures and processes in medical diagnosis. The thesis attempts to fit the problem of medical diagnosis ...

This working paper describes the facilities of the mini-robot group and the software available to persons using those facilities.

This paper presents a visual recognition program in which recognition process is driven by hypotheses about the object being recognized. The hypothesis suggests which features to examine next, refines its predictions based ...

This concentrates on interactions between knowledge stated in diverse representations. It proposes a vision program that classifies any complicated object as an elaborated instance of a simple on it already understands. ...

A research program is proposed, the goal of which is a computer system that embodies the knowledge and methodology of a competent radio repairman.

An approach to vision research is described that combines ideas about low level processing with more abstract notions about the representation of knowledge in intelligent systems. A particular problem, of the representation ...

This memo describes two GT40 programs: URUG, an octal micro-debugger: and VT07, a Datapoint simulator and general display package. There is also a description of the MITAI LISP display slave, and how it uses VT07 as a ...

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 ...
