Pattern Recognition and Reading by Machine

Classics

"MANY EFFORTS have been made to discriminate, ย categorize, and quantitate patterns, and ย to reduce them into a usable machine language. ย The results have ordinarily been methods or devices ย with a high degree of specificity. For example, some ย devices require a special type font; others can read ย only one type font; still others require magnetic ink. We have an interest in decision-making circuits ย with the following qualities: (1) measurable high reliability ย in decision making, (2) either a high or a low ย reliability input, and (3) possibly low reliability components. ย The high specificity of the devices and ย methods mentioned above was felt to be a drawback ย for our purposes. All of these approaches prove upon inspection to center upon analysis of the specific ย characteristics of patterns into parts, followed by a ย synthesis of the whole from the parts. In these ย studies, pattern recognition of the whole, that is, Gestalt recognition, was chosen as a more fruitful ย avenue of approach and as a satisfactory problem for ย the initial phases of the over-all study."

Some studies in machine learning using the game of checkers

Classics

The studies reported here have been concerned with the programming of a digital computer to behave in a way which, if done by human beings oranimals, would be described as involving the process of learning. Whilethis is not the place to dwell on the importance of machine-learning procedures,or to discourse on the philosophical aspects,1 there is obviously avery large amount of work, now done by people, which is quite trivial inits demands on the intellect but does, nevertheless, involve some learning.Also in Computers and Thought.
