We present Prophet, a novel patch generation system that learns a probabilistic model over candidate patches from a database of past successful patches. Prophet defines the probabilistic model as the combination of a ...

The studies of anatomy and physiology are fundamental ingredients of medical education. This paper identifies six ways in which such functional knowledge serves as the underpinnings for general medical reasoning, and ...

A time-sharing system for the 7090 computer is being developed at the M.I.T. Computation Center whereby many users can communicate simultaneously with the computer through individual consoles. In the time-sharing ...

During the last half of the nineteenth century the need for formal methods of proof became evident to mathematicians who were making such confidence-shaking discoveries as non-Euclidean geometry. The demand is not to be ...

Our common sense views of physics are the first coin in our intellectual capital; understanding precisely what they contain could be very important both for understanding ourselves and for making machines more like us. ...

There are many ways to find bugs in programs. For example, observed input and output values can be compared to predicted values. An execution trace can be examined to locate errors in control flow. The utility of these and ...

A theory of rational action can be used to determine the right action to perform in a situation. I will develop a theory of rational action in which an agent has access to an explicit theory of rationality. The agent makes ...

This paper proposes an interactive debugging aid that exhibits a deep understanding of a narrow class of bugs. This system, called Sniffer, will be able to find and identify errors, and explain them in terms which are ...

This proposal discusses practical aspects of our project to produce a replicable research tool for development of real-world computer-controlled hand-eye systems. If this proposal is read out of context, it will not seem ...

The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory proposes to continue its work on a group of closely interconnected projects, all bearing on questions about how to make computers able to use more sophisticated kinds of knowledge ...

The activities of the Artificial Intelligence laboratory can be viewed under three main aspects; (1) Artificial Intelligence- understanding the principles of making intelligent machines along the lines discusses in ...

The MIT Artificial Intelligence Project has a variety of goals all bound together by search for principles of intelligent behavior. Among our immediate goals are to develop systems with practical applications for: ...

The results of a decade of work in Artificial Intelligence have brought us to the threshold of a new phase of knowledge-based programming -- in which we can design computer systems that (1) react reasonably to significantly ...

The problem of devising a mechanical procedure for playing chess is fundamentally the problem of searching the very large move-tree associated with a chess position. This tree-searching problem is representative of a large ...

This proposal to the NSF describes a new phase of research planned in LOGO. Previous phases have concentrated on developing a conceptual superstructure (theories and teaching methods) and a material infra-structure ...

This is the substance of a proposal submitted in June, 1975, for research in the areas of large data bases and intelligent terminals, applications of machine vision and manipulation, basic studies in Artificial ...

The instructions that transmit data between the index registers and the memory work only on the left half (address) portion of memory. These instructions are LDXn (load index n from address of storage word). And STXn (store ...

Communication is the key to effective teamwork regardless of whether the team members are humans or machines. Much of the communication that makes human teams so effective is non-verbal; they are able to recognize the ...

Acoustic microswimmers present a great potential for microfluidic applications and targeted drug delivery. Here, we introduce armored microbubbles (size range, 10–20 μm) made by three-dimensional microfabrication, which ...
