Performance Grammars
Evidence is offered that linguistic competence cannot in principle be divorced from linguistic performance in order to abstract universal properties of grammars, that rules of grammar inevitably incorporate perceptual strategies…

SRI Speech Understanding System
The system is distinctive in the way that knowledge of various sources is coordinated by a “best-first” parser to predict the sequence of words in an utterance, and in the…

Reasoning About Programs
This paper describes a theorem prover that embodies knowledge about programming constructs, such as numbers, arrays, lists, and expressions. The program can reason about these concepts and is used as…

Object Recognition in Multisensory Scene Analysis
A perception strategy for recognizing an object on the basis of color and range data is illustrated by finding a desk in an office scene.

Equipment for Artificial Intelligence Research
We have identified in broad outline an equipment configuration that we feel will be highly flexible and useful for research. SRI proposes a two-year program to design, fabricate, and test…

Preliminary QLISP Manual
A preliminary version of QLISP is described. QLISP permits free intermingling of QA4-like constructs with INTERLISP code. The preliminary version contains features similar to those of QA4 except for the…

Artificial Intelligence
This paper describes current progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) with emphasis is given to describing it as an independent field of study having both applied-technological and scientific-theoretical branches.

Parser for a Speech Understanding System
This paper describes a parsing system specifically designed for spoken rather than written input. The parser is part of a project to develop a computer system for understanding speech.

Planning in a Hierarchy of Abstraction Spaces
The problem solver ABSTRIPS, a modification of STRIPS, can define an abstraction of space hierarchy from the STRIPS representation of a problem domain, and it can utilize the hierarchy in…

Speech Understanding Through Syntactic and Semantic Analysis
Stanford Research Institute is participating in a major program of research on the analysis of continuous speech by computer. The goal is the development of a speech understanding system capable…

Study of Equipment Needs for Artificial Intelligence Research
This report describes interim results of a project to specify special equipment for research in Artificial Intelligence. After surveying several potential users it was decided that there was a need…
