ISUPPOSEW – A Computer Program That Finds Regions in the Plan Model of a Visual Scene
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.

The Application of Theorem Proving to Information Retrieval
We will describe an approach to combining and extending question-answering techniques to large data files using a compilation of widely used physical laws and effects of interest to both engineers and scientists.

Laser printing
PARC, which is now part of SRI, modulated a laser to create a bit-mapped electronic image on a xerographic copier drum.

SRI – Trace Package for PDP-10 LISP
I’ve written a new LISP TRACE package which supersedes the current TRACE package.

An Information-Processing Model of Operant Behavior
In this note we shall sketch the outline of a simple information-processing model of operant behavior.
-
Scene Analysis Using Regions
The method employed uses regions as basic data and progresses by successive partitioning of the picture toward an interpretable “goal partition”, which is then explored by a heuristic decision tree.

The Frame Problem in Problem-Solving Systems
The problem deals with the difficulty of creating and maintaining an appropriate informational context or “frame of reference” at each stage in certain problem-solving process.

Resolution Graphs
This paper introduces a new notation, called “resolution graphs,” for deduction by resolution in first-order predicate calculus.
-
Research on Automatic Program-Synthesis Systems
We mean to devise a natural way to define program-writing problems and describe programming languages, and then improve the known methods of program synthesis and investigate new ones.

A Survey of the Literature on Problem-Solving Methods in Artificial Intelligence
This paper groups these problem-solving methods under three major headings: the State-Space Approach, the Problem-Reduction Approach, and the Formal-Logic Approach.

AROS Algorithms for Partitioning a Picture
This one-pass algorithm is rather complex in nature, and several alternatives have been suggested, one of which (a two-pass algorithm) we have chosen for use for comparison purposes because of its simplicity and apparent efficiency.

A LISP Implementation of BIP
This document describes a LISP implementation of BIP (Basic Interface Package) on the PDP-10 computer.
