The MIT Artificial Intelligence Project has a variety of goals all bound together by search for principles of intelligent behavior. Among our immediate goals are to develop systems with practical applications for: Visually-controlled automatic manipulation and physical world problem-solving, machine…

We have developed a technique called RISE (Random Image Structure Evolution), by which one may systematically sample continuous paths in a high-dimensional image space. A basic RISE sequence depicts the evolution of an object's image from a random field, along…

This paper presents an adaptive learning model for market-making under the reinforcement learning framework. Reinforcement learning is a learning technique in which agents aim to maximize the long-term accumulated rewards. No knowledge of the market environment, such as the order…

La evaluación de los aprendizajes, como actividad prominente de los procesos formativos por su decisiva acción pedagógica, obliga constantemente a reflexionar y debatir sobre su práctica. Esto conduce a inquietantes cuestionamientos: ¿cómo se debe evaluar?, ¿son apropiadas las técnicas e…

Este ensayo explora aspectos relacionados con la presencia del Budismo de Nichiren Daishonin en Venezuela. Se inicia con una breve revisión de la relación entre religión, ciencia y conocimiento, en la cultura occidental. Luego se presenta una relación sucinta de…

La imperiosa necesidad de abordar sistemáticamente y en forma continua acciones de evaluación (FODA), para efectos de diagnóstico en los programas de educación y conservación del ambiente, como la Misión Árbol, permite analizar los factores que tienen mayor preponderancia sobre…

To keep physical and financial records about any enterprises is essential if control of the productive process is to be achieved. Some Venezuelan farms belong to commercial systems that keep records (internal information), but a large proportion of farms are…

Defining qualified reasoning as reasoning containing such loose qualifying words as 'probably,' 'usually,' 'probable, 'likely,' 'ceteris paribus,' and 'primafacie, Ennis argues that typical cases of qualified reasoning, though they might be good arguments, are deductively invalid, implying that such arguments…

Natural history collections are the authoritative source of knowledge about the identity, evolutionary relationships, and attributes of species with which we share this planet. As such, collections of research specimens play a central and critical role in the conservation and…
