- Planning with TWEAK
- by Jonathan Amsterdam
-
- Like all exploratory work in the sciences, AI research proceeds
- in cycles of 'scruffy' exploration and 'neat' consolidation.
- After years of exploration into different planning algorithm
- design strategies, M.I.T.'s David Chapman may have created a new
- era in planning research with his neat summary of more than a
- decade of scruffy work on an algorithm called TWEAK.

- Rete Match Algorithm
- by Charles L. Forgy and Susan Shepard
-
- The Rete Match algorithm is a fast method for comparing a set of
- patterns to a set of objects to determine all possible matches.
- It may be the most efficient algorithm for performing the match
- operation on single processor. Developed by Charles L. Forgy in
- 1974, it has been implemented in several languages in both
- research and commercial grade systems.

- Imperative Pattern Matching in OPS5
- by Dan Neiman
-
- Surely the Rete Match algorithm is an efficient data structure
- for implementing production systems. But what else can it be
- used for? Let's look at the OPS5 language as a case study of
- the Rete net as an experimental tool kit. Then we'll present a
- technique that will show the programmer how to use Rete Match as
- a general purpose pattern matching tool.

- Perceptrons and Neural Nets
- by Peter Reece
-
- There are at least ten billion neurons handling over one million
- input messages per second in the human brain. With many of the
- earlier hardware and software obstacles now overcome, let's look
- back to one of the most successful pattern classification
- computers---the Perceptron---and show how you can implement a
- simple Perceptron on your home computer.
