Strong, Suzanne Marvin – 1973
An algorithm for generating a structural syntactic surrogate of English text is defined in this paper. The "performance" of the surrogate is judged empirically according to adherence to the following criteria: (1) The surrogate is an organized representation of natural language text; (2) The algorithm which produces the surrogate is…

Cadolino, C.; Guazzo, M. – Information Processing and Management, 1982
Considers problem of optimal scheduling of Boolean expression (each Boolean variable represents binary outcome of program module) on single-processor system. Optimization discussed consists of finding operand arrangement that minimizes average execution costs representing consumption of resources (elapsed time, main memory, number of…

Minker, Jack; And Others – 1972
The Maryland Refutation Proof Procedure System (MRPPS) is an interactive experimental system intended for studying deductive search methods. Although the work is oriented towards question-answering, MRPPS provides a general problem solving capability. There are three major components within MRPPS. These are: (1) an inference system, (2) a search…

Yannakoudakis, E. J.; Fawthrop, D. – Information Processing and Management, 1983
This paper describes an intelligent spelling error correction system for use in a word processing environment. The system employs a dictionary of 93,769 words and, provided the intended word is in the dictionary, it identifies 80 percent to 90 percent of spelling and typing errors. Nine references are cited.

de Heer, T. – Information Processing and Management, 1982
Addresses problem of developing machine-based information system capable of indicating one document, out of a set of documents written in natural language, which shows maximal degree of homeosemy (relationship in meaning between two texts language-fragments ) toward natural language query. Linguistic aspects, information traces, trigrams,…

Edwards, John S. – 1967
Three specific contributions to the field of information retrieval are presented. The first two describe the establishment of an adaptive, interactive man-machine dialogue that produces a form of unsolicited librarian-like assistance for the user in his selection of index terms to characterize an indexing function. The data set upon which the…
