1968-1969 Progress Report
(1970-01-01)This report mainly summarizes the Project MAC A.I. Group work between July 1968 and June 1969 but covers some work up to February 1970. The work on computer vision is described in detail. This summary should be read ... -
The Artificial Intelligence of Hubert L. Dreyfus: A Budget of Fallacies
(1968-01-01)In December 1965 a paper by Hubert Dreyfus revived the old game of generating curious arguments for and against Artificial Intelligence. Dreyfus hit top form in September 1967 with an explanation in the Review of ... -
Artificial Intelligence Progress Report
(1972-01-01)Research at the Laboratory in vision, language, and other problems of intelligence. This report is an attempt to combine a technical progress report with an exposition of our point of view about certain problems in the ... -
Artificial Intelligence, Language and the Study of Knowledge
(1975-07-01)This paper studies the relationship of Artificial Intelligence to the study of language and the representation of the underlying knowledge which supports the comprehension process. It develops the view that intelligence ... -
Assessment and Documentation of a Children's Computer Laboratory
(1977-09-01)This research will thoroughly document the experiences of a small number of 5th grade children in an elementary school computer laboratory, using LOGO, an advanced computer language designed for children. Four groups ... -
A Case Study of a Young Child Doing Turtle Graphics in LOGO
(1976-07-01)This paper explores some important issues with regard to using computers in education. It probes into the question of what programming ideas and projects will engage young children. In particular, a seven year old ... -
A Computer Laboratory for Elementary Schools
(1971-10-01)This is a research project on elementary education whose immediate objective is the development of new methods and materials for teaching in an environment of computers and computer-controlled devices. Longer term objectives ... -
Computer Tracking of Eye Motions
(1967-03-01)This memo is to explain why the Artificial Intelligence group of Project MAC is developing methods for on-line tracking of human eye movements. It also gives a brief resume of results to date and the next steps. -
Final Report of the Brookline LOGO Project. Part II: Project Summary and Data
(1979-09-01)During the school year 1977/78 four computers equipped with LOGO and Turtle Graphics were installed in an elementary school in Brookline, Mass. All sixth grade students in the school had between 20 and 40 hours of ... -
Final Report of the Brookline LOGO Project. Part III: Profiles of Individual Student's Work
(1979-09-01)During the school year 1977/78 four computers equipped with LOGO and Turtle Graphics were installed in an elementary school in Brookline, Mass. All sixth grade students in the school had between 20 and 40 hours of ... -
Information Prosthetics for the Handicapped
(1978-09-01)In this proposal we describe a technological step towards the realization of INFORMATION PROSTHETICS. Our primary focus is on using rather than making the technology. Specifically, our goal is to transpose for the use ... -
Linear Separation and Learning
(1968-10-01)This is a reprint of page proofs of Chapter 12 of Perceptrons, M. Minsky and S. Papert, MIT Press 1968, (we hope). It replaces A.I. Memo No. 156 dated March 1968. The perceptron and convergence theorems of Chapter 11 are ... -
Linearly Unrecognizable Patterns
(1967-01-01)The central theme of this study is the classification of certain geometrical properties according to the type of computation necessary to determine whether a given figure has them. -
Logo Progress Report 1973-1975
(1975-09-01)Over the past two years, the Logo Project has grown along many dimensions. This document provides an overview in outline form of the main activities and accomplishments of the past as well as the major goals guiding ... -
NIM: A Game-Playing Program
(1970-01-01)This note illustrates some ideas about how to initiate beginning students into the art of planning and writing a program complex enough to be considered a project rather than an exercise on using the language or simple ... -
Proposal to ARPA for Continuation of Micro-Automation Development
(1973-01-01)This proposal discusses practical aspects of our project to produce a replicable research tool for development of real-world computer-controlled hand-eye systems. If this proposal is read out of context, it will not seem ... -
Proposal to ARPA for Continued Research on A.I. for 1973
(1973-06-01)The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory proposes to continue its work on a group of closely interconnected projects, all bearing on questions about how to make computers able to use more sophisticated kinds of knowledge ... -
Proposal to ARPA for Research on Artificial Intelligence at M.I.T., 1971-1972
(1971-10-01)The activities of the Artificial Intelligence laboratory can be viewed under three main aspects; (1) Artificial Intelligence- understanding the principles of making intelligent machines along the lines discusses in ... -
Proposal to ARPA for Research on Artificial Intelligence at MIT, 1970-1971
(1970-12-01)The MIT Artificial Intelligence Project has a variety of goals all bound together by search for principles of intelligent behavior. Among our immediate goals are to develop systems with practical applications for: ... -
Proposal to NSF: An Evaluative Study of Modern Technology in Education
(1976-06-01)This proposal to the NSF describes a new phase of research planned in LOGO. Previous phases have concentrated on developing a conceptual superstructure (theories and teaching methods) and a material infra-structure ...
