The Evaluation and Cultivation of Spatial and Linguistic Abilities in Individuals with Cerebral Palsy
(1979-10-01)The work of the Cerebral Palsy project (members: Seymour Papert, Sylvia Weir, Jose Valente and Gary Drescher) over the past eighteen months is summarized, and the next phase of activity is outlined. The issues to be ... -
Evaluation of an Office Analysis Methodology
(1983-03)We have developed a model of the office that describes semi-structured office work. This model underlies an office analysis methodology and an office-specification language. An evaluation of the usefulness and practicality ... -
An Evaluation of Concurrent Priority Queue Algorithms
(1991-02)The priority queue is a fundamental data structure that is used in a large variety of parallel algorithms, such as multiprocessor scheduling and parallel best-first search of state-space graphs. -
Evaluation of Definite Integrals by Symbolic Manipulation
(1971-09)A heuristic computer program for the evaluation of real definite integrals of elementary functions is described. This program, called WANDERER (WANg's DEfinite integRal EvaluatoR), evaluates many proper and improper ... -
An Evaluation of Multiprocessor Support for Fine-grain Synchronization in Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient
(1993-02)This thesis explores the use of fine-grain synchronization in the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method using the modified incomplete Cholesky factorization of the coefficient matrix as a preconditioner. -
Evaluation of sets of oriented and non-oriented receptive fields as local descriptors
(2004-03-24)Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. We propose a performance criterion for a ... -

Event Order Abstraction for Parametric Real-Time System Verification
(2008-07-28)We present a new abstraction technique, event order abstraction (EOA), for parametric safety verification of real-time systems in which ``correct orderings of events'' needed for system correctness are maintained by timing ... -
Evidence for a Fifth, Smaller Channel in Early Human Vision
(1979-08-01)Recent studies in psychophysics and neurophysiology suggest that the human visual system utilizes a range of different size or spatial frequency tuned mechanisms in its processing of visual information. It has been ... -
Evidence Relating Subjective Contours and Interpretations Involving Occlusion
(1981-06-01)Subjective contours, according to one theory, outline surfaces that are apparently interposed between the viewer and background (because of the disruption of background figures, sudden termination of lines, and other ... -
The Evolution of Procedural Knowledge
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-01-16)A focus on planning and debugging procedures underlies the enhanced proficiency of recent programs which solve problems and acquire new skills. By describing complex procedures as constituents of evolutionary sequences of ... -
The Evolution of Society
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1991-08-05)We re-examine the evolutionary stability of the tit-for-tat (tft) strategy in the context of the iterated prisoner's dilemma, as introduced by Axelrod and Hamilton. This environment involves a mixture of populations of ... -
Evolutionary Programming with the Aid of A Programmers' Apprentice
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-05) -
Evolving Parallel Programs
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-05)Message passing is directed toward the production of programs that are intended to execute efficiently in a computing environment with a large number of processors. The paradigm attempts to address the computational issues ... -
Evolving Robocode Tank Fighters
(2003-10-28)In this paper, I describe the application of genetic programming to evolve a controller for a robotic tank in a simulated environment.The purpose is to explore how genetic techniques can best be applied to produce controllers ... -

Exact Algorithms for the Canadian Traveller Problem on Paths and Trees
(2008-01-28)The Canadian Traveller problem is a stochastic shortest paths problem in which one learns the cost of an edge only when arriving at one of its endpoints. The goal is to find an adaptive policy (adjusting as one learns more ... -
Exact Reproduction of Colored Images
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1980-12)The problem of producing a colored image from a colored original is analyzed. Conditions are determined for the production of an image, in which the colors cannot be distinguished from those in the original by a human ... -
Exact Solution of the Nonlinear Dynamics of Recurrent Neural Mechanisms for Direction Selectivity
(2002-08-01)Different theoretical models have tried to investigate the feasibility of recurrent neural mechanisms for achieving direction selectivity in the visual cortex. The mathematical analysis of such models has been restricted ... -
Examining high level neural representations of cluttered scenes
(2010-07-29)Humans and other primates can rapidly categorize objects even when they are embedded in complex visual scenes (Thorpe et al., 1996; Fabre-Thorpe et al., 1998). Studies by Serre et al., 2007 have shown that the ability of ...
