متن کامل280 Common Sense Reasoning
Even with powerful numerical computers, exploring complex dynamical systems requires significant human effort and judgment to prepare simulations and to interpret numerical results. This paper describes one-aspect of a computer program, KAM, that can autonomously prepare numerical simulations, and can automatically generate high-level, qualitative interpretations of the quantitative results. Gi...
