    • Genetic AI: Translating Piaget into Lisp 

      Drescher, Gary L. (1986-02-01)
      This paper presents a constuctivist model of human cognitive development during infancy. According to constructivism, the elements of mental representation -- even such basic elements as the concept of physical object ...

    • The Genetic Epistemology of Rule Systems 

      Goldstein, Ira P. (1978-01-01)
      I shall describe a model of the evolution of the rule-structured knowledge that serves as a cornerstone of our development of computer-based coaches. The key idea is a graph structure whose nodes represent rules, and ...

    • Geometric and Algebraic Aspects of 3D Affine and Projective Structures from Perspective 2D Views 

      Shashua, Amnon (1993-07-01)
      We investigate the differences --- conceptually and algorithmically --- between affine and projective frameworks for the tasks of visual recognition and reconstruction from perspective views. It is shown that an affine ...

    • Geometric Aspects of Visual Object Recognition 

      Breuel, Thomas M. (1992-05-01)
      This thesis presents there important results in visual object recognition based on shape. (1) A new algorithm (RAST; Recognition by Adaptive Sudivisions of Tranformation space) is presented that has lower average-case ...

    • Geometric Structure of the Adaptive Controller of the Human Arm 

      Shadmehr, Reza; Mussa-Ivaldi, Ferdinando (1993-07-01)
      The objects with which the hand interacts with may significantly change the dynamics of the arm. How does the brain adapt control of arm movements to this new dynamic? We show that adaptation is via composition of a ...

    • Geometry and Photometry in 3D Visual Recognition 

      Shashua, Amnon (1992-11-01)
      The report addresses the problem of visual recognition under two sources of variability: geometric and photometric. The geometric deals with the relation between 3D objects and their views under orthographic and ...

    • GeoQuorums: Implementing Atomic Memory in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 

      Dolev, Shlomi; Gilbert, Seth; Lynch, Nancy A.; Shvartsman, Alex A.; Welch, Jennifer L. (2004-02-25)
      We present a new approach, the GeoQuorums approach, for implementing atomic read/write shared memoryin mobile ad hoc networks. Our approach is based on associating abstract atomic objects with certain geographiclocations. ...

    • Gestural Cues for Sentence Segmentation 

      Eisenstein, Jacob; Davis, Randall (2005-04-19)
      In human-human dialogues, face-to-face meetings are often preferred over phone conversations.One explanation is that non-verbal modalities such as gesture provide additionalinformation, making communication more efficient ...

    • Gesture in Automatic Discourse Processing 

      Eisenstein, Jacob (2008-05-07)
      Computers cannot fully understand spoken language without access to the wide range of modalities that accompany speech. This thesis addresses the particularly expressive modality of hand gesture, and focuses on building ...

    • Getting Started Computing at the AI Lab 

      Stacy, Christopher C. (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 ...

    • A Glimpse of Truth Maintenance 

      Doyle, Jon (1978-02-01)
      Many procedurally-oriented problem solving systems can be viewed as performing a mixture of computation and deduction, with much of the computation serving to decide what deductions should be made. This results in ...

    • A Glimpse of Truth Maintenance 

      Doyle, Jon (1978-11-01)
      To choose their actions, reasoning programs must be able to draw conclusions from limited information and subsequently revise their beliefs when discoveries invalidate previous assumptions. A truth maintenance system ...

    • A Global Approach to Parameter Estimation of Chaotic Dynamical Systems 

      Siapas, Athanassios G. (1992-12-01)
      We present a novel approach to parameter estimation of systems with complicated dynamics, as well as evidence for the existence of a universal power law that enables us to quantify the dependence of global geometry ...

    • Global Depth Perception from Familiar Scene Structure 

      Torralba, Antonio; Oliva, Aude (2001-12-01)
      In the absence of cues for absolute depth measurements as binocular disparity, motion, or defocus, the absolute distance between the observer and a scene cannot be measured. The interpretation of shading, edges and junctions ...

    • Global Partitioning of Parallel loops and Data Arrays for Caches and Distributed Memory in Multiprocessors 

      Barua, Rajeev K. (1994-01)

    • Global Time in Actor Computations 

      Clinger, Will (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1979-06)

    • The Gloss of Glossy Things 

      Lavin, Mark A. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1973-03)
      This paper discusses the visual phenomenon of gloss. It is shown that the perception of this phenomenon derives from two effects (1) that the image reflected by a glossy surface lies in a different plane from the surface, ...

    • A Glossary of LOGO Primitives 

      Abelson, Hal; Adams, Jim (1974-12-01)
      This is a brief description of the primitives in PDP 11 LOGO. It is intended to provide a quick reference for users who are already familiar with LOGO basics. For a more detailed and comprehensive description of LOGO, ...
