This report describes progress toward an "intelligent question-answering system"?a system that can accept facts, retrieve items from memory, and perform logical deductions necessary to answer questions.
A Proposal for Research to survey the field of artificial intelligence. The end product of the proposed research would be a report in which the major techniques and subject matter of artificial intelligence are presented and explained in a coherent and logical manner.
This is a working paper concerned with the problem of determining the information storage capacities of networks of linear threshold devices. Capacities for single element networks and low dimensional multielement networks are found, and bounds on capacities are discussed for general networks.
Motivation is given for the use of various trainable pattern-classifying structures called linear and piecewise linear (PWL) machines. The results of various experiments in training are presented. Two different types of training methods were investigated: mode-seeking and error -correction methods.
