چکیده
The author visited the Soviet Union in June and July, 1960 to at tend the First Congress of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) as an official American delegate and to meet with certain scientists in psychology, physiology, and the cornputer sciences, as well as visit some Russian research institutions doing work in these areas. In this article Soviet research in cybernetics, neurocybernetics, artificial intelligence, mechanical translation, and automatic programming is discussed and new developments in Soviet computing machines are described. The author presents his discussions with several important Soviet personalities in the computer sciences, which dealt with their particular work and the work of their research institutions. He concludes that Soviet research in the computer sciences lags behind Western developments, but that the gap is neither large nor based on a lack of understanding of fundamental principles. He believes that the Soviets will move ahead rapidly if and when priority, in terms of accessibility to computing machines, is given to their research.
