When two representations are informationally equivalent, their computational efficiency depends on the information-processing operators that act on them. Two sets of operators may differ in their capabilities for recognizing patterns, in the inferences they can carry out directly, and in their control strategies (in par- ticular, the control of search).

Review of Artificial Intelligence for Microcomputers: The Guide for Business Decision Makers

The AI lab at the Courant Institute at New York University (NYU) is pursuing many different areas of artificial intelligence (AI), including natural language processing, vision, common sense reasoning, information structuring, learning, and expert systems. Other groups in the Computer Science Department are studying such AI-related areas as text analysis, parallel Lisp and Prolog, robotics, low-level vision, and evidence theory.

The operations sheets generator (OPGEN) is an expert system that helps industrial engineers at the Hazeltine manufacturing and operations facilities plan the assembly of printed circuit boards. In this article, we describe the evolution of OPGEN from its initial development in the Hazeltine research laboratories to its routine use in an integrated manufacturing environment. We describe our approaches to the problem that occurred during the development, integration, and rehosting of OPGEN and provide some methodological guidelines to expert system builders who are concerned with the final delivery of an expert system.

This article describes an effort to develop a knowledge-based financial marketing consultant system. Financial marketing is an excellent vehicle for both research and application in artificial intelligence (AI). This domain differs from the great majority of previous expert system domains in that there are no well-defined answers (in traditional sense); the goal here is to obtain satisfactory arguments to support the conclusions made. A large OPS5-based system was implemented as an initial prototype. We present the organization and principles underlying this system and offer our ongoing research directions. The experience gained in the initial prototyping effort is currently being used to further expert systems research and to develop an extensive system that ultimately can be used by the marketing organization.

Although the group at System Development Corp. (Paoli, Pennsylvania), techniques being studied should be widely applicable, we are with each group responsible for certain aspects of system specifically developing a system to understand paragraphlength design. Our groups are jointly responsible for integration of messages about equipment failures, with the aim of the next-generation text-processing system as part of the Defense summarizing each failure and assessing its impact. Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Strategic Several laboratory prototypes have been constructed for Computing Program (Grishman and Hirschman 1986). We aim to improve on these earlier a small question-answering system that answers simple systems through a combination of two techniques: the use of English queries about a student transcript database This system detailed domain knowledge to verify and complete our linguistic is used for teaching and as a preliminary test bed for analyses and the use of "forgiving" algorithms that some of our linguistic analysis techniques. Participants: Ralph Grishman (faculty); Tomasz Ksiezyk, To guide the development of our system, we selected a Ngo Thank Nhan, Michael Moore, and John Sterling corpus of messages describing the failure of one particular piece of equipment, a starting air compressor.
