This paper gives a brief overview of several "traditional" approaches towards computer-assisted instruction (CAI. A new CAI language is then described which allows the user to write programs which generate bath questions ...

This paper first defines what is meant by a computer network and then looks at the useful user services that can be provided through such a network. It then reviews the design alternatives, both logical and physicial, ...

The computation of continuous approximate solutions of Differential Equations has become increasingly important in order, for instance, to be able to apply error bounding techniques from functional analysis. An efficient ...

Programmed in FORTRAN V on a Univac 1108, the system generates 2100 word murder mystery stories, complete with semantic deep structure, in less than 19 seconds. The techniques draw upon the state of the art in linguistics, ...

The typical pattern recognizer (PR) applies a set of characterizers to an input. Each characterizer implies a set of possible names, and the single most highly implied name is chosen. The typical concept former (CF) applies ...

This paper explores techniques for pattern recognition and description of more than one object, where objects extend over time as well as over space. Three major interrelated issues are examined: A. Describing, as opposed ...

The main purpose of this work is to associate a wide class of Lagrangian functions with a nonconvex, inequality and equality constrained optimization problem in such a way that unconstrained stationary points of each ...
