INITIAL INPUT [16 records]

Record 1 2026-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Software
  • Mathematics
CONT

The machines considered thus far are fixed and deterministic in that their responses to a particular input from a given initial state are always the same. Also, the input sequences that we have been applying to these machines have always had a particular representation associated with them....... the output is determined by the program and set of data applied, where the same program and the same data always give the same output. A stochastic automation or probabilistic machine on the other hand, has an output that is not necessarily the same for every application of the input.

CONT

Un autre développement, encore expérimental, se prépare aux États-Unis, celui des serveurs d'information à vaste zone (WAIS - Wide-Area Information Server). Il vise à interconnecter des sources multiples, aussi bien des serveurs spécialisés que des réseaux locaux, à l'aide d'un protocole capable de collationner, collecter et intégrer les informations et de les véhiculer sur un réseau national à très grande capacité. L'objectif est de permettre à l'usager de formuler directement ses questions et d'ouvrir des dossiers dynamiques, qui seront automatiquement tenus à jour par abonnement.

OBS

WAIS : en français, on voit surtout l'abréviation qui se prononce «ouéce».

Confirmation feedback simply informs the learner the accuracy of a response. Also known as knowledge of results; Kr : this type of feedback does not provide any input on what the correct answer is, or why a response might be wrong. It is used to reinforce correct answers. Confirmation feedback is often used when automaticity is the learning goal or in the later stages of competency, after the initial acquisition of knowledge.

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Linear resolution(also called ancestry-filtered resolution) is a slight generalization of input resolution. A linear resolvent is one in which at least one of the parents is either in the initial database or is an ancestor of the other parent. A linear deduction is one in which each derived clause is a linear resolvent. A linear refutation is a linear deduction of the empty clause(). Linear resolution takes its name from the linear shape of the proofs it generates. A linear deduction starts with a clause in the initial database(called the top clause) and produces a linear chain of resolutions.
