A new approach to manipulator control: The cerebellar model articulation controller
The cerebellum provides precise coordination of motor control for such body parts as the eyes, arms, fingers, legs, and wings. It stores and retrieves information required to control thousands of muscles in producing coordinated behavior as a function of time. CMAC was designed to provide this kind of motor control for robotic manipulators. CMAC is a kind of memory, or table look-up mechanism, that is capable of learning motor behavior. It exhibits properties such as generalization, learning interference, discrimination, and forgetting that are characteristic of motor learning in biological creatures.
Les grammaires de metamorphose
After examining the simplest statements thaï can be based on a verb, a noun and an adjective, we go on to more complex statements involving articles, relative clauses and négations. Emphasis is laid on the systematic transformation ofa sentence into a semantic formula, h appears that such semantic formulae can be interpre ted correctly only in a logical system wit h three truth-values. Moreover one must suppose that the elementary relations associâted wit h the verb s, nouns and adjective s range not on individuals, but on sets of individuals.
Preference semantics
This dissertation describes a computational system for the analysis of English prose under the Preference Semantics theory of language understanding. The two main areas of investigation are these: (1) the design and implementation of a series of programs for extracting semantic information from a machine-readable dictionary, with this semantic information in a form suitable for use by a subsequent semantic analysis program, and (2) the design and implementation of a semantic analysis program that accepts short English texts and creates a corresponding representation from them. The resulting representation is in a suitable form, such that other Artificial Intelligence programs can use it as a knowledge source.
