WebWatcher: Knowledge Navigation in the World Wide Web
We describe a learning apprentice system, called WebWatcher, which both performs the kind of indexing used by Web catalogers like Lycos, and attempts to exploit the two sources of knowledge…

A Storage System for Scalable Knowledge Representation
Our research investigates the hypothesis that one can employ an existing database management system (DBMS) as a storage subsystem for an FRS, to provide high-speed access to large, shared KBs.

Registration without Correspondences
We present a method for registering images of complex 3-D surfaces that does not require explicit correspondences between features across the images.

Distinguishing Knowledge Bases and Data Bases: Who’s on First and What’s on Second
This paper compares and contrasts relational data base management systems (RDBMSs) and frame knowledge representation systems (FRSs). We compare the capabilities that RDBMSs and FRSs provide to designers and users…

Industrial Project Monitoring with Evidential Reasoning
The system identifies problems and developments that might lead to deviations from planned project outcomes and does so at such an early stage that effective corrective action can still be…

Experience with a Learning Personal Assistant
Personal software assistants that help users with tasks like finding information, scheduling calendars, or managing workflow will require significant customization.

The deductive composition of astronomical software from subroutine libraries
Automated deduction techniques are being used in a system called Amphion to derive, from graphical specifications, programs composed from a subroutine library. The system has been applied to construct software…

Learning Control Parameters of a Vision Process Using Contextual Information
This paper presents a method for the system itself to learn how to select among its algorithms and to set their parameters, reducing the need for operator expertise while improving…

Hybrid Reasoning using Universal Attachment
Universal attachment is a domain-independent mechanism for integrating diverse representation and reasoning methods into hybrid frameworks that contain a subsystem based on deduction over logical formulas.
