However, up to this time, frequency counting and statistical association techniques have been more favored, since these involve operations which can be performed with great speed on present day computers. Syntactic analysis programs, especially the few which have relatively complete grammars, have suffered from the disadvantage of slow and expensive operation and consequently have seldom been applied beyond the field of mechanical translation. In this paper, we report the design and testing of a limited syntactic recognition program for English which shows promise of becoming accurate enough to aid in mechanized indexing, yet sufficiently inexpensive to make large-scale use practicable.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128117766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet little has been accomplished of general value to automation. We can think of many examples where the human mind can assimilate information and quickly reach a decision where we would be hard pressed to computerize the thought process. Since it will be many years before man's general decision making powers can be channeled into computers, he must be given an optimum remedial problem-solving capability. This means that he must be given the facility to communicate or interact directly with the computer and he must be given adequate tools to accomplish this interaction. In an idealized man-computer system, facilities will exist to yield a homogenous mix of man's decisions with routine computation. With the addition of fast response, it will be possible to shorten span time and to increase the learning and the retention of significant results. To this end the concept of real-time on-line computer graphics will play a major role.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116327710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, Isaac Auerbach has characterized the invention of the computer as being comparable to that of the steam engine in its effects upon mankind.

For convenience, such learning is divided into two major processes: (1) perfection of the subsystem organization necessary to convert highly coded command sequences into the multitudinous signals necessary to the efficient utilization of musculature or other effectors, etc., and (2) the development of the control capabilities necessary for the timely generation of effective coded command sequences. This paper considers only the latter process as it might possibly be achieved in so-called \"artificially intelligent\" systems such as those using electronic data processing system control, as exemplified by a program described in detail in reference 1. Because of time and space limitations, this program will only be briefly summarized here to the extent necessary to explain the significance of the results obtained with various simple systematic creative means of response generation or synthesis.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122931704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A useful and analytically attractive approach to the design of two-dimensional, edgefed cellular arrays for the realization of arbitrary switching functions is based upon the decomposition of the arbitrary function into a set of subfunctions, each of which is independently produced by one of the columns of the array. In this approach, each column of the array might realize, for example, an individual member of a minimum covering set of prime implicants; these subfunctions are then composed by \"collecting\" the column outputs in a special row of the array whose final output is a realization of the desired function, or alternatively by using edge jumpers in the same array to accomplish the collecting function.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116742562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These needs are developed into a set of requirements for a fast-response time-sharing system. The requirements, in turn, lead to a series of design decisions which involve both the hardware and software parts of the system. A memory and program-sharing system, with the hardware to make such a system efficient, takes the form of a complex of apparent computers, one for each console, which share some common hardware (TX-2). The salient characteristics of these computers are described as well as the executive program structure which gives them apparent reality.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130752319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on a bounded carry inspection adder (BCIA) that operates on ternary coded data words. The recoding circuitry is of the type currently in use in computers that perform high-speed multiplication by the modified short cut (MSC) technique of shifting over ones and zeros. The uniqueness of the BCIA lies in the application of this recording to addition, and to an even greater speed-up of the multiplication technique that fostered it. In the process of multiplication, repeated additions/subtractions are required. The BCIA speeds up the process by providing an addition technique that yields the sum in parallel in one step through the elimination (bounding) of carry propagation.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133883047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
