Planning and Reacting in Uncertain and Dynamic Environments
The CYPRESS system is a domain-independent framework for defining persistent agents with this full range of behavior. It has been used for several demanding applications, including military operations, real-time tracking,…

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…

An integrated stereo-based approach to automatic vehicle guidance
We integrate two modules consisting of a new, domain-specific, efficient binocular stereo algorithm, and a lane marker detection algorithm, and show that the integration results in a improved performance for…

WebWatcher: Machine Learning and Hypertext
This paper describes the first implementation of WebWatcher, a Learning Apprentice for the World Wide Web.

Finding Analogues for Innovative Design
We present a heuristic mapping engine that evaluates a candidate analogy based on features of the mappings between the devices’ structures, behaviors, and functions.

Protocol Modeling, Bifurcation/Bootstrapping, And Convince Me: Computer-Based Methods For Studying Beliefs And Their Revision
This paper traces a progression of four computer-based methods for studying and fostering both the structure and the on-line development of knowledge. Each empirical technique employs ECHO, a connectionist model…

The Use of Binocular Vision for Hazard Detection and Vehicle Control
We integrated two modules consisting of a new, domain-specific binocular stereo algorithm, and a lane marker detection algorithm, and show that the integration results in improved performance for each of…

Indefeasible Semantics and Defeasible Pragmatics
I propose a fine structure of the preferential interpretation in pragmatics in terms of defeasible rule interactions. A logical implementation of the preferential rule interactions is proposed using prioritized circumscription,…

No Girls Allowed
Discusses girls' use of computers and examines why they are often discouraged and lose interest.
-
Ziplock Snakes
We propose a snake-based approach that lets a user specify only the distant endpoints of the curve he wishes to delineate without having to supply an almost complete polygonal approximation.

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.
