A Primer for TEX Users
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-03)
TEX is our latest text formatter. It is designed specifically for technical text (e.g., mathematics), and produces much higher quality output than other formatters previously available. Donald Knuth designed TEX at Stanford ...
Programming Cliches and Cliche Extraction
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-02)
The programmer's apprentice (PA) is an automated program development tool. The PA depends upon a library of common algorithms (cliches) as the source of its knowledge about programming. The PA can be made more usable if ...
A Guide to ITS Operations: Useful Spells and Incantations
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-01-27)
It is said that it is not wise to dabble in the Arts without care and caution, for the spell is at once subtle and dangerous: Look herein! For if you read carefully and closely, you can incant a Word of Magic, and the ...
The Assq Chip and Its Progeny
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-01)
The Assq Chip lives on the memory bus of the Scheme-81 chip of Sussman et al and serves as a utility for the computation of a number of functions concerned with the maintenance of linear tables and lists. Motivated by a ...
Report on the Second Workshop on Distributed AI
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-01)
On June 24, 1981 twenty-five participants from organizations around the country gathered in MIT's Endicott House for the Second Annual Workshop on Distributed AI. The three-day workshop was designed as an informal meeting, ...
Aspects of the Rover Problem
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-12)
The basic task of a rover is to move about automonously in an unknown environment. A working rover must have the following three subsystems which interact in various ways: 1) locomotion--the ability to move, 2) perception--the ...
Hidden Cues in Random Line Stereograms
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-04)
Successful fusion of random-line stereograms with breaks in the vernier acuity range has been interpreted to suggest that the interpolation process underlying hyperacuity is parallel and preliminary to stereomatching. In ...
Representing Constraint Systems with Omega
(1981-11)
This paper considers two constraint systems, that of Steele and Sussman, and Alan Borning's Thinglab. Some functional difficulties in these systems are discussed. A representation of constraint systems using the description ...
Parallel Networks for Machine Vision
(1988-12-01)
The amount of computation required to solve many early vision problems is prodigious, and so it has long been thought that systems that operate in a reasonable amount of time will only become feasible when parallel ...
A Robot that Walks: Emergent Behaviors from a Carefully Evolved Network
(1989-02-01)
Most animals have significant behavioral expertise built in without having to explicitly learn it all from scratch. This expertise is a product of evolution of the organism; it can be viewed as a very long term form ...
