An Intelligent Pruning Device for Tomato Lateral Branches

Pruning Some Branches from “Branching Spacetimes”

Discussions of branching time and branching spacetime have become common in the philosophical literature. If properly understood, these conceptions can be harmless. But they are sometimes used in the service of debatable and even downright pernicious doctrines. The purpose of this chapter is to identify the pernicious branching and prune it back.

An Intelligent Autonomous Vision Device

The article describes the concept of an intelligent autonomous vision architecture. The main idea is to have a compact, i.e., slightly larger than a cigarette-pack, device which combines the basic features of a camera, a computer, and a controller. This means the device has downloadable functionality to read an image from a vision-chip, to process it onboard, to trigger and/or control external ...

Design for AKL with Intelligent Pruning

Towards AKL with Intelligent Pruning

It may therefore be questionable whether it is worth adding more overhead to the runtime execution of these systems in order to obtain a shorter proof (in terms of number of inference steps). We argue that it is, because both search-space narrowing techniques built into the AKL model rely exclusively on forward execution, not on any knowledge of whatever occurred during backward execution, espe...

An Intelligent Segmentation System for Lateral Skull X-Ray Images

This paper describes research into knowledge-based image interpretation in clinical orthodontics. Similar work on knowledge-based methods is reviewed. We consider how a tiered knowledge-based system may provide an effective solution to the problems encountered. An autonomous intelligent segmentation system, for finding model-based features in lateral skull x-ray images, is described. Initial re...
