Klaus: A System For Managing Information and Computational Resources
These systems, which we call Knowledge Learning and Using Systems (KLAUS), are intended to act as brokers between the user’s needs, as expressed in the user’s terms, and the resources available in a rich computational environment.

The Interplay Between Experimental and Theoretical Methods, In Artificial Intelligence
The reasons for the dichotomy are discussed, and AI is compared with other, more mature disciplines in which there is closer cooperation between experimental and theoretical branches.

ImageCalc software
Image processing system makes it possible to manipulate 3D object models overlaid on imagery.

What’s Wrong with Non-Monotonic Logic
The answer, briefly, is that the motivation behind the wonderfully impressive work involved in its development is based on a confusion of proof-theoretic with epistemological issues.

Interpreting Discourse: Coherence and the Analysis of Ethnographic Interviews
In this paper we first outline how we apply our AI discourse approaches to the ethnographic data. We discuss three kinds of coherence in terms of which we analyze a text, and then describe our method more generally.

Reconstructing Smooth Surfaces From Partial, Noisy Information
We describe a solution for an important special case: the interpolation of surfaces that are locally spherical or cylindrical from initial orientation values and constraints on orientation.

Scene Modeling: A Structural Basis For Image Description
In this paper a structural approach to modeling is argued for that explicitly relates image appearance to the scene characteristics from which it arose.

A Storage Representation For Efficient Access To Large, Multidimensional Arrays
This paper addresses problems associated with accessing elements of large multidimensional arrays when the order of access is either unpredictable or is orthogonal to the conventional order of array storage.

Plan Generation and Execution For Robotics
A number of problems in this area requiring further research are discussed, including dealing with time, planning for parallel execution, planning for information gathering, planning for planning, learning, interactive planning, dynamic plan repair, and distributed robotics.

Interpreting Natural-Language Utterances In Dialogs About Tasks
This paper describes the results of a three-year research effort investigating the knowledge and processes needed for participation in natural-language dialogs about ongoing mechanical-assembly tasks.

Random Sample Consensus: A Paradigm for Model Fitting with Applications to Image Analysis and Automated Cartography
RANSAC is capable of interpreting/smoothing data containing a significant percentage of gross errors, and is thus ideally suited for applications in automated image analysis where interpretation is based on the data provided by error-prone feature detectors.
