A Package of LISP Functions for Making Movies and Demos
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-06)
A collection of functions have been written to allow LISP users to record display calls in a disk file. This file can be UREAD into a small LISP to reproduce the display effects of the program without doing the required ...
The Gloss of Glossy Things
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-03)
This paper discusses the visual phenomenon of gloss. It is shown that the perception of this phenomenon derives from two effects (1) that the image reflected by a glossy surface lies in a different plane from the surface, ...
Review of Human Vision Facts
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-03-20)
This note is a collection of well known interesting facts about human vision. All parameters are approximate. Some may be wrong. There are sections on retina physiology, eye optics, light adaptation, psychological curios, ...
Structured Descriptions
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-08)
A descriptive formalism along with a philosophy for its use and expansion are presented wherein descriptions are of a highly structured nature. This descriptive system and the method of recognition are extended to the ...
Hierarchy in Descriptions
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-05)
Organization of knowledge requires the flexible use of hierarchy in descriptions. This memo attempts to catalog the issues related to recognizing and executing such descriptions, drawing examples primarily from the blocks world.
Suggestions and Advice
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-03)
Results of scene analysis, as they are achieved, direct and advise the flow of subsequent processing.
Synthesis of a Network with a Given System Function
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-06)
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 ...
The LISP Machine
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-11)
Understanding LISP Programs: Towards a Programmer's Apprentice
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-12)
Several attempts have been made to produce tools which will help the programmer of complex computer systems. A new approach is proposed which integrates the programmer's intentions, the program code, and the comments, by ...
Wait-and-See Strategies for Parsing Natural Language
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-08)
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 ...
