Digital computers can readily be programmed to exhibit modes of behavior which are usually associated only with the nervous systems of living organisms. This paper describes a concrete example of one practical technique by which the Electronic Delay ...
We consider the process we call Pattern Recognition. By this we mean the extraction of the significant features of data from a background of irrelevant detail. What we are interested in is simulating this process on digital computers. We give examples ...
A good deal of speculation has gone into the subject of mechanizing learning processes. The various schemes known to the author may be shown to be mechanizations of some general plan devised by the designer for analyzing the environment with which the ...
There exists a vast discrepancy in the power of discrimination exercised by a digital computer and in that of a human being. The recognition of information or data patterns is a simple task for the least experienced human clerk. Most people possess ...
I must begin by admitting, as is scarcely necessary, that. I am at least several months away from being able to feed a new piece of French text into a computer and have an English translation come out at the other end. In trying out my basic idea, with ...
This paper derives the weighting sequence of a linear digital filter whose output is an estimate of the predicted values of the derivatives of the input. The input functions considered are arbitrary linear combinations of n + 1 known functions, plus a ...
Every business game emphasizes certain aspects of “reality” at the expense of others. Among the features which may be stressed are:
1. The business decision making environment and organization
2. Operations research techniques
3. Institutional factors
...
In order to define what we mean by processor, we must describe a primitive undefined processor called the initial control processor, and a primitive command which may be assumed to be executable ab initio. The initial control processor causes a ...
This study investigated various techniques for systematically abbreviating English words and names. Most of the attention was given to the techniques which could be mechanized with a digital device such as a general purpose digital computer. Particular ...
THE ACCURACY of a data-handling system which is vulnerable to random errors can be measured by several parameters: Variance of the output about the correct output, the probability of the output being within a specified interval about the correct output, ...
THREE YEARS ago IBM began work on a program—the Digital Automatic Map Compilation system—for the Geodesy, Intelligence, Mapping, Research and Development Agency. The goal was to develop a method for compiling maps for aerial photographs using digital-...
SIMULATION by use of computers is the most economical means of determining feasibility, compatibility, and stability in developing and evaluating complex systems. The savings in time and money made possible by simulation cannot be overemphasized.
This ...
AT THE IBM SPACE GUIDANCE CENTER, a Simulation Laboratory is connected to an IBM 7090 DPS via a direct data connection. In addition to its Simulation Laboratory functions, the 7090 is used by the Analysis and Computation Center to solve engineering ...
