Artificial Intelligence -- A Personal View
(1976-03-01)The goal of A.I. is to identify and solve useful information processing problems. In so doing, two types of theory arise. Here, they are labelled Types 1 and 2, and their characteristics are outlined. This discussion creates ... -
Artificial Intelligence and Clinical Problem Solving
(1979-09)An ambitious, but intriguing, possibility for radically increasing the availability and adequacy of health case, while containing cost, is to use the computer as a consultant to augment and extend the skills of all health ... -
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics
(1984-02-01)Since Robotics is the field concerned with the connection of perception to action, Artificial Intelligence must have a central role in Robotics if the connection is to be intelligent. Artificial Intelligence addresses ... -
An Artificial Intelligence Approach to Clinical Decision Making
(1986-09)This memo is the text of a proposal from the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science Clinical Decision Making group to the National Library of Medicine, requesting support for a five-year program of research. -
Artificial Intelligence Approaches to Medical Diagnosis
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-03)The differential diagnosis of hematuria, blood in the urine, is studied from the point of view of identifying crucial structures and processes in medical diagnosis. The thesis attempts to fit the problem of medical diagnosis ... -
The Artificial Intelligence of Hubert L. Dreyfus: A Budget of Fallacies
(1968-01-01)In December 1965 a paper by Hubert Dreyfus revived the old game of generating curious arguments for and against Artificial Intelligence. Dreyfus hit top form in September 1967 with an explanation in the Review of ... -
Artificial Intelligence Progress Report
(1972-01-01)Research at the Laboratory in vision, language, and other problems of intelligence. This report is an attempt to combine a technical progress report with an exposition of our point of view about certain problems in the ... -
Artificial Intelligence, Language and the Study of Knowledge
(1975-07-01)This paper studies the relationship of Artificial Intelligence to the study of language and the representation of the underlying knowledge which supports the comprehension process. It develops the view that intelligence ... -
Artwork Analysis Tool for VLSI Circuits
(1980-06)Current methods for designing VLSI chips do not insure that the chips will perform correctly when manufactured. Because the turn around time on chip fabrication varies from a few weeks to a few months, a scheme other than ... -
Aspects of the Rover Problem
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-12)The basic task of a rover is to move about automonously in an unknown environment. A working rover must have the following three subsystems which interact in various ways: 1) locomotion--the ability to move, 2) perception--the ... -
Assessment and Documentation of a Children's Computer Laboratory
(1977-09-01)This research will thoroughly document the experiences of a small number of 5th grade children in an elementary school computer laboratory, using LOGO, an advanced computer language designed for children. Four groups ... -
Assigning Hierarchical Descriptions to Visual Assemblies of Blocks with Occlusion
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1975-10)This memo describes a program for parsing simple two-dimensional piles of blocks into plausible nested subassemblies. Each subassembly must be one of a few types known to the program, such as stack, tower, or arch. Each ... -
Assimilation of New Information by a Natural Language Understanding System
(1974-02-01)This work describes a program, called TOPLE, which uses a procedural model of the world to understand simple declarative sentences. It accepts sentences in a modified predicate calculus symbolism, and uses plausible ... -
Associative Learning of Standard Regularizing Operators in Early Vision
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1984-12)Standard regularization methods can be used to solve satisfactorily several problems in early vision, including edge detection, surface reconstruction, the computation of motion and the recovery of color. In this paper, ... -
The Assq Chip and Its Progeny
(MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1982-01)The Assq Chip lives on the memory bus of the Scheme-81 chip of Sussman et al and serves as a utility for the computation of a number of functions concerned with the maintenance of linear tables and lists. Motivated by a ... -
An Asymptotically Optimal Layout for the Shuffle-exchange Graph
(1982-10)The shuffle-exchange graph is one of the best structures known for parallel computation. Among other things, a shuffle-exchange computer can be used to compute discrete Fourier transforms, multiply matrices, evaluate ... -
Asymptotically Zero Energy Computing Using Split-Level Charge Recovery Logic
(1994-06-01)The dynamic power requirement of CMOS circuits is rapidly becoming a major concern in the design of personal information systems and large computers. In this work we present a number of new CMOS logic families, Charge ... -
Asymptotics of Gaussian Regularized Least-Squares
(2005-10-20)We consider regularized least-squares (RLS) with a Gaussian kernel. Weprove that if we let the Gaussian bandwidth $\sigma \rightarrow\infty$ while letting the regularization parameter $\lambda\rightarrow 0$, the RLS solution ... -
Asynchronous Failure Detectors
(2013-01-30)Failure detectors -- oracles that provide information about process crashes -- are an important abstraction for crash tolerance in distributed systems. The generality of failure-detector theory, while providing great ... -
