Three themes in complex information processing are revealing themselves to be mutually interconnected: problem‐solving mechanisms, automatic program writing, and the organization…

SOME ASPECTS OF VISUAL PATTERN RECOGNITION

J.F. SCHUH

This paper is concerned with the detection of “features” of visual patterns, in particular with a view to the construction of a reading automaton. The features can be divided into…

INTELLIGENT BEHAVIOUR SYSTEMS BASED ON SEMANTIC NETWORKS

N.M. AMOSOV, A.M. KASATKIN, L.M. KASATKINA, E.M. KUSSUL, S.A. TALAEV, V.D. FOMENKO

This paper develops a hypothesis concerning the structure and interaction principles of main psychological programs in form of semantic networks. Models for the brain information…

A GENERAL SYSTEMS THEORY FOR STUDIES IN CYBERNETICS AND AUTOMATION—PART I

ELDO C. KOENIG

Artificial automata replace, in part or in total, natural automata in systems, and properly disciplined models of natural automata become design models of artificial automata for…

INFORMATION THEORY AND THE MEASUREMENT OF DETECTIVE PERFORMANCE

M.A.P. WILLMER

The traditional measure of detective performance is the clear‐up rate. Though this has the merit of being easy to calculate, it is not without certain disadvantages. At present, a…

Education in general, and higher education in particular, are in a state of instability, because their previous homeostasis is perturbed by several parameters. These indicate that…

STOCHASTIC ASYMPTOTIC STABILITY AND APPROXIMATION OF THE RANDOM SOLUTION OF A STOCHASTIC DISCRETE FREDHOLM SYSTEM

W.J. PADGETT, CHRIS P. TSOKOS

A stochastic discrete Fredholm system in the form xn(ω) = hn(ω) + ∞Σj=1 Cn,j(ω)ƒj(xj(ω)), n = 1,2,…, is studied, where ω ∈ Ω, the supporting set of a complete probability measure…
