This technical note describes the nature and structure of the computer program ISUPPOSEW and some of its results. ISUPPOSEW is designed t o enable a robot to make conjectures, on the basis of its visual information, about elements of its environment that it cannot see.
This report presents a description of the basic goals and philosophy of a research program aimed at developing the technology needed to support systems that can be tutored in English about new subject areas, and that can therefore aid the initial or subsequent user ...
We describe some of the reasoning and programming capabilities of a projected synthesis system. Special attention is paid to the introduction of conditional tests, loops, and instructions with wide effects in the program being constructed.
This paper discusses an effort in the application of artificial intelligence to the access of data from a large, distributed data base over a computer network. A running system is described that provides access to multiple instances of a data base management system over the ARPANET in real time.
We present a system for learning descriptions of objects, and for subsequently recognizing learned objects, that functions in outdoor, natural environments.

Two of the problems that the user of an image understanding system must continuously face are the choice of an appropriate algorithm and the setting of its associated parameters.
This document describes an application-oriented system for creating natural language interfaces between existing computer programs (such as data base management systems) and casual users.
