In recent years, researchers in artificial intelligence have become interested in replicating human physical reasoning talents in computers. One of the most important skills in this area is predicting how physical systems will behave. This thesis discusses an implemented program…

This paper describes a system for the computer understanding of English. The system answers questions, executes commands, and accepts information in normal English dialog. It uses semantic information and context to understand discourse and to disambiguate sentences. It combines a…

All intelligence relies on search --- for example, the search for an intelligent agent's next action. Search is only likely to succeed in resource-bounded agents if they have already been biased towards finding the right answer. In artificial agents, the…

This thesis describes some aspects of a computer system for doing medical diagnosis in the specialized field of kidney disease. Because such a system faces the spectre of combinatorial explosion, this discussion concentrates on heuristics which control the number of…

How much information about the shape of an object can be inferred from its image? In particular, can the shape of an object be reconstructed by measuring the light it reflects from points on its surface? These questions were raised…

La presente propuesta explica cómo el estudio de la historia local de un pueblo,

Žinių samprata yra sudėtinga, įvairi ir daugiaprasmė. Moksliniu požiūriu žinių prigimtį ir esmę jau keletą dešimtmečių tyrinėja įvairių sričių mokslininkai, tačiau iki šiol nėra sukurtos visuotinai pripažintos žinių potencialo vertinimo metodikos, vartojamos skirtingos sąvokos, nesutariama, kokie veiksniai yra esminiai vertinant…

La thérapie génique, qui consiste à modifier le génome d'un individu, est la progression logique de l'application de la recherche fondamentale à la médecine. Au moment où l'on célèbre le décryptage du génome humain, surgissent les premières guérisons par la…

The information, when organized and accessible, increases the possibility of generating knowledge, expand its application beyond the purposes for which it was first produced. The use of data bases and informatics tools is critical to the safe storage of the…
