As advances in computer architecture and changing economics make feasible machines with large-scale parallelism, Artificial Intelligence will require new ways of thinking about computation that can exploit parallelism effectively. We present the actor model of computation as being appropriate for…

En este trabajo procuramos reflexionar sobre las posibilidades
que le brinda el ciberespacio a la Universidad para que difunda, a través de
las bibliotecas digitales, el producto científico que germina dentro de sus
paredes. Para ello, tomamos en consideración algunos…

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…

“La tecnología KDD está basada en un bien definido proceso KDD de múltiples pasos, para el descubrimiento de conocimiento en grandes colecciones de datos. El proceso KDD es iterativo por naturaleza, y depende de la interacción para la toma de…

This work extends the semantics and implementation of fuzzy prolog presented in [VGM02] in order to include Default Knowledge capability. The new semantic allows non-uniform default assumptions and has Closed World Assumption (CWA) and Open World Assumption (OWA) as particular…

Much Learning is done by way of studying precedents and exercises. A teacher supplies a story, gives a problem, and expects a student both to solve a problem and to discover a principle. The student must find the correspondence between…

The next generation of artificial intelligence programs will require the ability to organize knowledge as groups of active objects. Each object should have only its own local expertise, the ability to operate in parallel with other objects, and the ability…

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…

La presente Tesis Doctoral tiene como objetivo general el empleo de sistemas sensoriales de visión y fuerza conjuntamente para realizar el guiado de robots en aquellas tareas en las que no solo se requiere controlar la trayectoria del robot sino…

A system for visual recognition is described, with implications for the general problem of representation of knowledge to assist control. The immediate objective is a computer system that will recognize objects in a visual scene, specifically hammers. The computer receives…
