GPRINT: A LISP Pretty Printer Providing Extensive User Format Control Mechanism
(1982-09-01)
A Lisp pretty printer is presented which makes it easy for a user to control the format of the output produced. The printer can be used as a general mechanism for printing data structures as well as programs. It is ...
Automated Program Description
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-08)
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 uses these cliches to understand ...
Talking to the Puma
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-09)
The AI Lab's Unimation Puma 600 is a general-purpose industrial robot arm that has been interfaced to a Lisp Machine for use in robotics projects at the lab. It has been fitted with a force-sensing wrist. The Puma is capable ...
TRIG: An Interactive Robotic Teach System
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-06)
Currently, it is difficult for a non-programmer to generate a complex sensor-based robotic program. Most robot programming methods either generate only very simple programs or are such that they are only useful to programmers. ...
Code Generation in the Programmer's Apprentice
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-05)
The Programmer's Apprentice is a highly interactive program development tool. The user interface to the system relies on program text which is generated from an internal plan representation. The programs generated need to ...
Getting Started Computing at the AI Lab
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-09-07)
This document describes the computing facilities at M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and explains how to get started using them. It is intended as an orientation document for newcomers to the lab, and will be ...
Zero-Crossings and Spatiotemporal Interpretation in Vision
(1982-05-01)
We will briefly outline a computational theory of the first stages of human vision according to which (a) the retinal image is filtered by a set of centre-surround receptive fields (of about 5 different spatial sizes) ...
Supporting Organizational Problem Solving with a Workstation
(1982-07-01)
This paper describes an approach to supporting work in the office. Using and extending ideas from the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) we describe office work as a problem solving activity. A knowledge embedding ...
Learning by Augmenting Rules and Accumulating Censors
(1982-05-01)
This paper is a synthesis of several sets of ideas: ideas about learning from precedents and exercises, ideas about learning using near misses, ideas about generalizing if-then rules, and ideas about using censors to ...
Visual Algorithms
(1982-05-01)
Nonlinear, local and highly parallel algorithms can perform several simple but important visual computations. Specific classes of algorithms can be considered in an abstract way. I study here the class of polynomial ...
