Differential Perceptrons
(1973-01-01)
As originally proposed, perceptrons were machines that scanned a discrete retina and combined the data gathered in a linear fashion to make decisions about the figure presented on the retina. This paper considers differential ...
Visual Position Extraction using Stereo Eye Systems with a Relative Rotational Motion Capability
(1973-03-01)
This paper discusses the problem of context-free position estimation using a stereo vision system with moveable eyes. Exact and approximate equations are developed linking position to measureable quantities of the ...
D-SCRIPT: A Computational Theory of Descriptions
(1973-02-01)
This paper descries D-SCRIPT, a language for representing knowledge in artificial intelligence programs. D-SCRIPT contains a powerful formalism for descriptions, which permits the representation of statements that are ...
A Linguistics Oriented Programming Language
(1973-02-01)
A programming language for natural language processing programs is described. Examples of the output of programs written using it are given. The reasons for various design decisions are discussed. An actual session with ...
The FINDSPACE Problem
(1973-03-01)
The FINDSPACE problem is that of establishing a volume in space where an object of specified dimensions will fit. The problem seems to have two subproblems: the hypothesis generation problem of finding a likely spot to ...
Finding the Skeleton of a Brick*
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-03)
TC-SKELETON's duty is to help find the dimensions of brick shaped objects by searching for sets of three complete edges, on for each dimension. The program was originally written by Patrick Winston, and then was refined ...
Some Aspects of Medical Diagnosis
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
Since mid July Steve Pauker, Jerome Kassirer, and I (Gerald Jay Sussman) have been observing the diagnostic process of expert physicians with the goal of abstracting the underlying procedures being followed. One purpose ...
A scenario of Planning and Debugging in Electronic Circuit Design
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
The purpose of this short document is to exhibit how a HACKER-like top-down planning and debugging system can be applied to the problem of the design and debugging of simple analog electronic circuits. I believe, and I ...
Quantitative Aspects of the Computation Performed by Visual Cortex in the Cat, With a Note on a Function of Lateral Inhibition
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-12)
A quantitative summary is given of the computation that is performed by visual cortex in the cat. Part of this computation seems to be achieved using a sample-and-average technique; some quantitative features of this ...
Finding Components on a Circuit Board
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-09)
This paper describes a set of programs written in LISP that recognize resistors on circuit boards. The approach leans heavily on a thorough examination of the features found in representative intensity arrays and on ...
