A Machine Program for Theorem-Provingt
نویسنده
چکیده
In [1] is set forth an algorithm for proving theorems of quantification theory which is an improvement in certain respects over previously available algorithms such as that of [2]. The present paper deals with the programming of the algorithm of [1] for the New York University, Institute of Mathematical Sciences' IBM 704 computer, with some modifications in the algorithm suggested by this work, with the results obtained using the completed algorithm. Familiarity with [1] is assumed throughout.

Minimal Programs Are Almost Optimal
According to the Algorithmic Coding Theorem, minimal programs of any universal machine are prefix-codes asymptotically optimal with respect to the machine algorithmic probabilities. A stronger version of this result will be proven for a class of machines, not necessarily universal, and any semi-distribution. Furthermore, minimal programs with respect to universal machines will be shown to be al...
متن کاملAnalysis of x86 Application and System Programs via Machine-Code Verification
Ensuring the reliability of high-level programs is becoming more difficult with the ever-increasing complexity of computing systems. Although automatic program analysis tools have found great success in industrial applications, they have limited scope because they target specific kinds of undesirable behavior, such as buffer overflows. Incorrect compiler transformations and the absence of analy...
متن کاملBayesian perspective over time
Thomas Bayes, the founder of Bayesian vision, entered the University of Edinburgh in 1719 to study logic and theology. Returning in 1722, he worked with his father in a small church. He also was a mathematician and in 1740 he made a novel discovery which he never published, but his friend Richard Price found it in his notes after his death in 1761, reedited it and published it. But until L...
متن کاملAn Empirical Overview of the No Free Lunch Theorem and Its Effect on Real-World Machine Learning Classification
A sizable amount of research has been done to improve the mechanisms for knowledge extraction such as machine learning classification or regression. Quite unintuitively, the no free lunch (NFL) theorem states that all optimization problem strategies perform equally well when averaged over all possible problems. This fact seems to clash with the effort put forth toward better algorithms. This le...
متن کاملNonexistence of Program Optimizers in Several Abstract Settings
For various settings and various dynamic criteria for gauging optimality of programs, there does not exist a master program (optimizer) 9 ~ such that if P is any program which computes a partial function possessing an optimal program, then :'~, operating on the program P as input, halts eventually and outputs an optimal program P ' for computing that partial function. Optimality can be gauged b...
