Computer System for Visual Recognition Using Active Knowledge
(1976-06-01)
A system for visual recognition is described, with implications for the general problem of representation of knowledge to assist control. The immediate objective is a computer system that will recognize objects in a ...
Hierarchical Shape Description of Objects by Selection and Modification of Prototypes
(1975-11-01)
An approach towards shape description, based on prototype modification and generalized cylinders, has been developed and applied to the object domains pottery and polyhedra: (1) A program describes and identifies pottery ...
Reasoning from Incomplete Knowledge in a Procedural Deduction System
(1975-12-01)
One very useful idea in AI research has been the notion of an explicit model of a problem situation. Procedural deduction languages, such as PLANNER, have been valuable tools for building these models. But PLANNER and its ...
A Computational Model of Skill Acquisition
(1973-08-01)
This thesis confronts the nature of the process of learning an intellectual skill, the ability to solve problems efficiently in a particular domain of discourse. The investigation is synthetic; a computational performance ...
New Progress in Artificial Intelligence
(1974-09-01)
This report concentrates on progress during the last two years at the M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Topics covered include the representation of knowledge, understanding English, learning and debugging, ...
An Application of Line-labeling and other Scene-analysis Techniques to the Problem of Hidden-line Removal
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-03)
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 ...
Advice on the Fast-paced World of Electronics
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-05)
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. ...
Kinematics of the MIT-AI-VICARM Manipulator
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-05)
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 ...
Some Projects in Automatic Programming
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-04)
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 ...
