Among them is AM, a computer program which develops new mathematical concepts and conjectures' involv ing them, A M is guided in this exploration by a collection of 250 more or less general heuristic rules. The operational nature of such models allows experiments to be performed upon them, experiments which help us test and develop hypotheses about intelligence. One interesting result has been the ubiquity of this kind of heuristic guidance: intelligence permeates everyday problem solving and invention, as well as the kind of problem solving and invention that scientists and artists perform.","PeriodicalId":376661,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS National Computer Conference","volume":"358 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133557908","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}

Others have been interested in more formal approaches, including the use of assertions and automatic theorem proving techniques. Numerical analysts must cope with special difficulties caused by round off and truncation error, and it is the purpose of this talk to show how various techniques can be brought together to help prove the correctness of programs for numerical computation.","PeriodicalId":376661,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS National Computer Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124656121","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}
