Conversations Between Programs
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-09)
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 ...
Actor Semantics of PLANNER-73
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-11)
Work on PLANNER-73 and actors has led to the development of a basis for semantics of programming languages. Its value in describing programs with side-effects, parallelism, and synchronization is discussed. Formal definitions ...
FED, the Font "EDitor" and Font Formats
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-10)
This memo describes FED, a program used for compiling and inspecting fonts: AST font format, a text format which can be used to create and edit fonts: and KST font format, the binary format used by SCRIMP, TJ6, and PUB.
MAPPER Information
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-09)
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 ...
A Numerical Method for Shape-From-Shading From A Single Image
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-01)
The shape of an object can be determined from the shading in a single image by solving a first-order, non-linear partial differential equation. The method of characteristics can be used to do this, but it suffers from a ...
Conceptual Phrases and Deterministic English Parsing
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-08)
The grammar of many of the lower-level constituents of grammatical structures in English has not been a area of exciting new linguistic discovery, in contrast with study of clause-level constituents. The syntax of these ...
Logical Control Theory Applied to Mechanical Arms
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-02)
A new control algorithm based upon Logical Control Theory is developed for mechanical manipulators. The controller uses discrete tesselations of state space and a finite set of fixed torques to regulate non-rehearsed ...
The Use of Thread Memory in Amnesic Aphasia and Concept Learning.(note 0)
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-09-05)
We propose a new type of semantic memory, called thread memory. The primitives of this memory are threads, defined as keyed multilink, loop-free chains, which link semantic nodes. All links run from superordinate categories ...
Steps Toward a Psycholinguistic Model of Language Production
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-04)
This paper discusses what it would mean to have a psychological model of the language production process: what such a model would have to account for, what it would use as evidence. It outlines and motivates one particular ...
