Plan for a Computer-Based Consultant System
This report describes the goals and plans for a five-year project to develop a computer-based system that will serve as an expert consultant to a human apprentice. Together, the system…

Artificial Intelligence – Research and Applications
Our research program concentrates especially on the development of systems that can automatically generate and execute complex plans and that can obtain information about their environment through the sense of…

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…

A Best-First Parser
The parser uses a best-first strategy in which alternative paths are assigned priorities and paths are suspended as long as there is a higher priority alternative to explore.

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…

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.
