Subject: Connectionist Expert Systems
Could any one give me pointers about NESTOR, an expert system combining
neural nets and symbolic AI techniques ?
Is there any other work done in connectionist expert systems ?
Thanks.

Subject: Ternary Logic Systems
A colleague is interested in contacting anyone who is doing
research on 3-state (ternary logic) computer systems,
specifically for AI applications. He's read much of the
literature on emulating ternary logic on binary systems, but
hasn't seen much work done directly on ternary systems.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Subject: Pointers needed on induction over multiple explanations
In an interesting article in the Proceedings of the 1988 AAAI Spring
Symposium on EBL, Flann and Dietterich discuss the idea of performing
induction over the functional explanations of a concept (in their case,
minmax game trees), as opposed to performing the induction on the feature
language description of the concept. In the article they list some
other projects in which induction over explanations is performed.
Can anyone provide me with pointers to work in which induction is done
over multiple concept explanations? I would particularly be
interested in hearing about projects in which induction is performed
over causal process explanations generated by qualitative or
quantitative domain models.
Please email to me (bruce@paul.rutgers.edu) any references which you
might have concerning this topic. I will, of course, post the results
of this query to the net if there is enough interest. Thanks for the
help.

Subject: Graphics on PC using GCL LISP?
We are trying to do windows (both text and graphics) and mouse events from
GCL LISP and MS-DOS. Would also like to display digitized pictures in
these windows. Is anyone doing such a thing out there? Should we start with
GC-WINDOWS or the Gold Hill Extended Programming Interface (EPI) to something
like C ? Any info would be much appreciated.

CHILDREN'S REORGANIZATION OF KNOWLEDGE

Abstract: Some preliminary findings from an ongoing project on children's
acquisition of knowledge in the domain of astronomy will be presented.
The findings indicate that elementary school children's early beliefs
are consistent with their phenomenal explanation of a stationary flat
earth and an up and down movement of the sun and moon. These beliefs
appear to be quite resistant to change and rise to a number of
misconceptions which reveal children's difficulty to assimilate
current scientific views.
