Furthermore, it will aid decision makers in industry and management to understand the accomplishments and limitations of the state-of-the-art of artificial intelligence. Research to be presented will focus on methodology, time-schedules, problems, work force strength, new tools, transfer of theoretical accomplishments to application problems, information exchange among concerned AI researchers and decision makers about the potential impact ------------------------------ From: vtvax5::foxea@vtcs1.VT Subject: Listing of a Continuing Ed.

Besides a fundamental and theoretical approach toward these topics, an overview is presented of the available. advantage of the implicit structure of text. A predefined layout for each type of text element then opens the way for a fully automatic text-processing system in which user control information can be reduced to an absolute minimum. Discusses physical and logical document architecture. Logical structure has three information streams: primary, illustrative, and secondary. BNF grammars for each are given. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Jan 86 20:36:45 est From: "V.J.

In the of classification. The K-nearest neighbor decision rule has often been used in these pattern recognition problems. One of the difficulties that arises when utilizing this counterpart in terms of a lower error rate, the resuting memberships give a confidence measure of the classification. 13. RUBRIC: A SYSTEM FOR RULE-BASED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL Brian P. McCune, Richard M. Tong, Jeffrey S. Dean, Daniel G. Shapiro Advanced Information & Decision Systems Mountain View, CA 94040 A research prototype software system for conceptual information retrieval has been developed. The goal of the system, called RUBRIC, is to provide more automated and documents for presentation to the user, and detailed explanation of how and why a particular document was information retrieval systems, or real-time document filtering and routing.
