Abstract:: This report reviews the 31 papers on machine learning that were presented at the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-85) held in Los Angeles during August, 1985. The papers are grouped according to a taxonomy of the various subareas of machine learning research. The areas receiving the most...

Abstract:: Leda is a strongly typed, compiled, multiparadigm programming language. This paper describes various implementation concerns which arose from the experience of writing a Leda compiler as part of the Leda research team. These include aspects of run-time representation, symbol-table information, and code generation. The paper concentrates on objects and classes....

Abstract:: Yashar is a rule based meta-tool for rapidly producing tools to increase programming speed through automating restructuring of existing source code modules so they can be reused, generating of syntax-directed tools, language-to-language translation, automated document generation , and various debugging tools. The main significance of Yashar is that it can...

Abstract:: Arash is a rule-based tool for re-structuring source programs in order to build software systems from reusable components. Arash incorporates a collection of Generalizers which transform source code modules into abstracted modules. Conversely, a collection of Refiners produce a concrete instance from an abstracted source module . Both Generalizers and...

Creator:: Ullman, David G., Stauffer, Larry A., and Dietterich, Thomas G.
Abstract:: This paper presents the initial results from an empirical study of mechanical design engineers. In this study, six engineers were video-taped solving real mechanical design problems. Preliminary analysis of this protocol data has yielded several important findings, including (a) mechanical designers progress from systematic to opportunistic behavior as the design...

Abstract:: This paper presents a study of the distribution of assembly language instructions in two avionics software applications and the development of an information theoretic software complexity metric based on the study. The instructions were grouped into classes , e.g. load and store, arithmetic, jump, compare, etc. As expected the distribution...

Abstract:: In this short paper, I plan to review the work I have done on neural nets over the course of the last 20 years. As one might reasonably expect the questions being asked and the approaches to solving them have evolved, but there are still fundamental questions which remain unanswered...

Creator:: D'Ambrosio, Bruce
Abstract:: A complete approach to uncertainty management requires support for interactive and incremental problem formulation, inference, hypothesis ranking, and decision making. In addition, computational models must allow for time and resource bounds. Current approaches to uncertainty management concentrate primarily on inference, provide little or no support for the larger issues in...

Creator:: Rapp, Charles W.
Abstract:: The ALGEBRA READER models how an expert might read an algebra word problem. When experts read such problems they are believed to use pattern-indexed schemata and heuristics for known problem categories. These schemata are represented by pattern-action pairs that interact concurrently with the augmented transition network used to parse the...

Abstract:: This paper describes an analysis tool that extracts complexity metrics from Program Design Language (PDL) as contained in design specification documents. The tool analyzes pseudocode and computes token-count metrics of PDL complexity on a module by module basis. We used the tool to measure consistency within and across modules and...
