The Unix Time-Sharing System

by D. M. Ritchie, K. Thompson - Communications of the ACM , 1974
"... Unix is a general-purpose, multi-user, interactive operating system for the larger Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11 and the Interdata 8/32 computers. It offers a number of features seldom found even in larger operating systems, including i A hierarchical file system incorporating demountable vol ..."

This paper discusses the nature and implementation

Finding structure in time

by Jeffrey L. Elman - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1990
"... Time underlies many interesting human behaviors. Thus, the question of how to represent time in connectionist models is very important. One approach is to represent time implicitly by its effects on processing rather than explicitly (as in a spatial representation). The current report develops a pro ..."

Qualitative process theory

by Kenneth D. Forbus - MIT AI Lab Memo , 1982
"... Objects move, collide, flow, bend, heat up, cool down, stretch, compress. and boil. These and other things that cause changes in objects over time are intuitively characterized as processes. To understand commonsense physical reasoning and make programs that interact with the physical world as well ..."

On the control of automatic processes: A parallel distributed processing account of the Stroop effect

by Jonathan D. Cohen, James L. Mcclelland, Kevin Dunbar - Psychological Review , 1990
"... Traditional views of automaticity are in need of revision. For example, automaticity otten has been treated as an all-or-none phenomenon, and traditional ~es have held that automatic processes are independent of attention. Yet recent empirical data suggest that automatic processes are continu-ous, a ..."

. With the Stroop effect as an example, automatic processes are shown to be continuous and to emerge gradually with practice. Specifically, a computational model of the Stroop task simulates the time course of processing as well as the effects of learning. This was accomplished by combining the cascade mechanism

Controlled and automatic human information processing

by Walter Schneider, Richard M. Shiffrin - I. Detection, search, and attention. Psychological Review , 1977
"... A two-process theory of human information processing is proposed and applied to detection, search, and attention phenomena. Automatic processing is activa-tion of a learned sequence of elements in long-term memory that is initiated by appropriate inputs and then proceeds automatically—without subjec ..."

A theory of social comparison processes,”

by Leon Festinger - Human Relations, , 1954
"... In this paper we shall present a further development of a previously published theory concerning opinion influence processes in social groups (7). This further development has enabled us to extend the theory to deal with other areas, in addition to opinion formation, in which social comparison is i ..."

Robust Real-time Object Detection

by Paul Viola, Michael Jones - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2001
"... This paper describes a visual object detection framework that is capable of processing images extremely rapidly while achieving high detection rates. There are three key contributions. The first is the introduction of a new image representation called the “Integral Image ” which allows the features ..."

A Maximum Entropy approach to Natural Language Processing

by Adam L. Berger, Stephen A. Della Pietra , Vincent J. Della Pietra - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1996
"... The concept of maximum entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. Only recently, however, have computers become powerful enough to permit the widescale application of this concept to real world problems in statistical estimation and pattern recognition. In this paper we des ..."

A Signal Processing Approach To Fair Surface Design

by Gabriel Taubin , 1995
"... In this paper we describe a new tool for interactive free-form fair surface design. By generalizing classical discrete Fourier analysis to two-dimensional discrete surface signals -- functions defined on polyhedral surfaces of arbitrary topology --, we reduce the problem of surface smoothing, or fai ..."

As opposed to other existing optimization-based fairing methods, which are computationally more expensive, this is a linear time and space complexity algorithm
