Applications Of Circumscription To Formalizing Common Sense Knowledge

by John McCarthy - Artificial Intelligence , 1986
"... We present a new and more symmetric version of the circumscription method of nonmonotonic reasoning first described in (McCarthy 1980) and some applications to formalizing common sense knowledge. The applications in this paper are mostly based on minimizing the abnormality of different aspects o ..."

A Sense of Self for Unix Processes

by Stephanie Forrest, Steven A. Hofmeyr, Anil Somayaji, Thomas A. Longstaff - In Proceedings of the 1996 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy , 1996
"... A method for anomaly detection is introduced in which "normal" is defined by short-range correlations in a process ' system calls. Initial experiments suggest that the definition is stable during normal behavior for standard UNIX programs. Further, it is able to detect several common ..."

A translation approach to portable ontology specifications

by Thomas R. Gruber - KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION , 1993
"... To support the sharing and reuse of formally represented knowledge among AI systems, it is useful to define the common vocabulary in which shared knowledge is represented. A specification of a representational vocabulary for a shared domain of discourse — definitions of classes, relations, functions ..."

Understanding and Using Context

by Anind K. Dey - Personal and Ubiquitous Computing , 2001
"... Context is a poorly used source of information in our computing environments. As a result, we have an impoverished understanding of what context is and how it can be used. In this paper, we provide an operational definition of context and discuss the different ways that context can be used by contex ..."

Metaphors We Live By

by George Lakoff, Mark Johnson , 1980
"... 1. Make a list of some of the metaphors discussed by Lakoff and Johnson. Try inserting new words that convey a different meaning. For example, consider the expression, “I’d like to share some time with you ” rather than “spend some time with you.” 2. Make a list of “language asymmetries ” (see Part ..."

II, p. XX, and Reading 12 for definitions) and consider what underlying cultural values these asymmetries indicate. 3. Consider the use of the masculine he or man to refer to all people. Some people say that this “generic use ” is perfectly acceptable because the terms “imply ” women as well as men

Formalising trust as a computational concept

by Stephen Paul Marsh , 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

Dynamic programming algorithm optimization for spoken word recognition

by Hiroaki Sakoe, Seibi Chiba - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ACOUSTICS, SPEECH, AND SIGNAL PROCESSING , 1978
"... This paper reports on an optimum dynamic programming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition. First, a general principle of time-normalization is given using timewarping function. Then, two time-normalized distance definitions, ded symmetric and asymmetric forms, are der ..."

A computational approach to edge detection

by John Canny - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1986
"... This paper describes a computational approach to edge detection. The success of the approach depends on the definition of a comprehensive set of goals for the computation of edge points. These goals must be precise enough to delimit the desired behavior of the detector while making minimal assumpti ..."

Understanding Code Mobility

by Alfonso Fuggetta, Gian Pietro Picco, Giovanni Vigna - IEEE COMPUTER SCIENCE PRESS , 1998
"... The technologies, architectures, and methodologies traditionally used to develop distributed applications exhibit a variety of limitations and drawbacks when applied to large scale distributed settings (e.g., the Internet). In particular, they fail in providing the desired degree of configurability, ..."

From Data Mining to Knowledge Discovery in Databases.

by Usama Fayyad , Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro , Padhraic Smyth - AI Magazine, , 1996
"... ■ Data mining and knowledge discovery in databases have been attracting a significant amount of research, industry, and media attention of late. What is all the excitement about? This article provides an overview of this emerging field, clarifying how data mining and knowledge discovery in database ..."
