Procedural Attachment
(1979-08-01)
A frame-based reasoning system is extended to deal with procedural attachment. Arguments are given why procedural attachment is needed in a symbolic reasoner. The notion of an infinitary concept is introduced. Conventions ...
Computer Recognition of Prismatic Solids
(1970-08-01)
An investigation is made into the problem of constructing a model of the appearance to an optical input device of scenes consisting of plane-faced geometric solids. The goal is to study algorithms which find the real ...
Reasoning Modeled as a Society of Communicating Experts
(1979-06-01)
This report describes a domain independent reasoning system. The system uses a frame-based knowledge representation language and various reasoning techniques including constraint propagation, progressive refinement, ...
Towards a Computational Theory of Definite Anaphora Comprehension in English Discourse
(1979-06-01)
This report investigates the process of focussing as a description and explanation of the comprehension of certain anaphoric expressions in English discourse. The investigation centers on the interpretation of definite ...
Learning Structural Descriptions from Examples
(1970-09-01)
The research here described centers on how a machine can recognize concepts and learn concepts to be recognized. Explanations are found in computer programs that build and manipulate abstract descriptions of scenes ...
Representing Knowledge of Large-Scale Space
(1977-07-01)
This dissertation presents a model of the knowledge a person has about the spatial structure of a large-scale environment: the "cognitive map". The functions of the cognitive map are to assimilate new information about ...
