This paper describes the procedures for integrating knowledge from different sources in the SRI speech understanding system. A language definition system coordinates–at the phrase level–information from syntax, semantics, and discourse in the course of the interpretation of an utterance.
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.
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.

This report covers the six-month period October 1975 to April 1976. In this report, the application areas of ARPA-supported Machine Vision work at SRI were changed to Cartography and Photointerpretation.
Parametric correspondence is a technique for matching images to a three dimensional symbolic reference map. An analytic camera model is used to predict the location and appearance of landmarks in the image, generating a projection for an assumed viewpoint.
This note describes LIFER, a practical facility for creating natural language interfaces to other computer software. Emphasizing human engineering, LIFER has bundled natural language specification and parsing technology into one convenient package.
This paper investigates an alternative approach, an interactive graphically designates a feature of interest by pointing at or crudely tracing it with a display cursor.
This report describes a computer program that approaches perception as a problem-solving task. The system uses information about the appearances of objects, about their interrelationships, and about available sensors to produce a plan for locating specified objects in images of room scenes.
