METEOR: A LISP Interpreter for String Transformations
(1963-04-01)
Conditional expressions, composition and recursion are the basic operations used in LISP to define functions on list structures. Any computable function of arbitrarily complex list structures may be described using these ...
String Manipulation in the New Language
(1964-07-01)
String manipulation can be made convenient within the *** language by implementing two functions: 1) match [workspace; pattern] and 2) construct {format;pmatch]. In this memo I describe how I think these two functions can ...

(1965-02-01)
The purpose of COMIT feature is to facilitate certain types of list manipulations in LISP II. This feature is a syntactic convenience, rather than an extension of the semantics of LISP. It permits the programmer to test ...
Natural Language Input for a Computer Problem Solving System
(1964-03-01)
This paper describes a computer program which accepts and "understands" a comfortable, but restricted set of one natural language, English. Certain difficulties are inherent in this problem of making a machine "understand" ...
Natural Language Input for a Computer Problem Solving System
(1964-09-01)
The STUDENT problem solving system, programmed in LISP, accepts as input a comfortable but restricted subset of English which can express a wide variety of algebra story problems. STUDENT finds the solution to a large ...
