Well-known methods for solving the shape-from-shading problem require knowledge of the reflectance map. Here we show how the shape-from-shading problem can be solved when the reflectance map is not available, but is known to have a given form with some…

Morphological analysis requires knowledge of the stems, affixes, combnatory patterns, and spelling-change processes of a language. The computational difficulty of the task can be clarified by investigating the computational characteristics of specific models of morphologial processing. The use of finite-state…

This is a reprint of page proofs of Chapter 12 of Perceptrons, M. Minsky and S. Papert, MIT Press 1968, (we hope). It replaces A.I. Memo No. 156 dated March 1968. The perceptron and convergence theorems of Chapter 11 are…

This paper demonstrates that it is possible to generate a reasonably accurate coordinate system on randomly distributed processors, using only local information and local communication. By coordinate systems we imply that each element assigns itself a logical coordinate that maps…

Problématique : L’arrivée des tests de pharmacogénétique a été annoncée dans les
médias et la littérature scientifique telle une révolution, un tournant vers la médecine
personnalisée. En réalité, cette révolution se fait toujours attendre. Plusieurs barrières législatives, scientifiques, professionnelles et…

Entre los procesos de cambio planteados en la sociedad venezolana actual han cobrado un papel
importante las organizaciones de la sociedad civil orientadas por la economía social, prestándoles
mayor apoyo a las Cooperativas a partir de la entrada en vigencia…

We have developed a method and prototype program for assisting two experts in their attempts to construct a single, consensus knowledge base. We show that consensus building can be effectively facilitated by a debugging approach that identifies, explains, and resolves…

This paper addresses the problem of contour line extraction from scanned topographic maps in poor condition. A novel method is developed, using knowledge of cartography and graphics to extract contours by removing other layers which overlay the contours, and reconstructing…

AbstractIn the knowledge society in addition to technical skills and access to information technologies, it is becoming increasingly important for people to have diversified and supportive social connections. Social media becomes an integral part of life. The social networking media…
