** ANNOUNCING **
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository +
+ and +
+ Prime Time Freeware for AI +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
July 1994
The CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository was established by Carnegie
Mellon University to contain public domain and freely distributable
software, publications, and other materials of interest to AI researchers,
educators, students, and practitioners. The AI Repository currently
contains more than a gigabyte of material and is growing steadily.
The AI Repository is accessible for free by anonymous FTP, AFS, and WWW.
A selection of materials from the AI Repository is also being published
on CD-ROM by Prime Time Freeware and should be available for purchase
at AAAI-94 or direct by mail or fax from Prime Time Freeware (see below).
-----------------------------
Accessing the AI Repository:
-----------------------------
To access the AI Repository by anonymous FTP, ftp to:
ftp.cs.cmu.edu [128.2.206.173]
and cd to the directory:
/user/ai/
Use username "anonymous" (without the quotes) and type your email
address (in the form "user@host") as the password.
To access the AI Repository by AFS (Andrew File System), use the directory:
/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/ai-repository/ai/
To access the AI Repository by WWW, use the URL:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/Web/Groups/AI/html/repository.html
Be sure to read the files 0.doc and readme.txt in this directory.
-------------------------------
Contents of the AI Repository:
-------------------------------
The AI Programming Languages and the AI Software Packages sections of
the repository are "complete". These can be accessed in the lang/ and
areas/ subdirectories of the AI Repository. Compression and archiving
utilities may be found in the util/ subdirectory. Other directories,
which are in varying states of completion, are events/ (Calendar of
Events, Conference Calls) and pubs/ (Publications, including technical
reports, books, mail/news archives).
The AI Programming Languages section includes directories for Common Lisp,
Prolog, Scheme, Smalltalk, and other AI-related programming languages.
The AI Software Packages section includes subdirectories for:
agents/ Intelligent Agent Architectures
alife/ Artificial Life and Complex Adaptive Systems
anneal/ Simulated Annealing
blackbrd/ Blackboard Architectures
bookcode/ Code From AI Textbooks
ca/ Cellular Automata
classics/ Classical AI Programs
constrnt/ Constraint Processing
dai/ Distributed AI
discover/ Discovery and Data-Mining
doc/ Documentation
edu/ Educational Tools
expert/ Expert Systems/Production Systems
faq/ Frequently Asked Questions
fuzzy/ Fuzzy Logic
games/ Game Playing

robotics/ Robotics
search/ Search
speech/ Speech Recognition and Synthesis
testbeds/ Planning/Agent Testbeds
vision/ Computer Vision
The repository has standardized on using 'tar' for producing archives
of files and 'gzip' for compression.
-------------------------------------
Keyword Searching of the Repository:
-------------------------------------
To search the keyword index by mail, send a message to:
ai+query(a)cs.cmu.edu
with one or more lines containing calls to the keys command, such as:
keys lisp iteration
in the message body. You'll get a response by return mail. Do not
include anything else in the Subject line of the message or in the
message body. For help on the query mail server, include:
help
instead.
A Mosaic interface to the keyword searching program is in the works. We
also plan to make the source code (including indexes) to this program
available, as soon as it is stable.
------------------------------------------
Contributing Materials to the Repository:
------------------------------------------
Contributions of software and other materials are always welcome, but
must be accompanied by an unambiguous copyright statement that grants
permission for free use, copying, and distribution, such as:
- a declaration that the materials are in the public domain, or
- a copyright notice that states that the materials are subject to
the GNU General Public License (cite version), or
- some other copyright notice (we will tell you if the copying
permissions are too restrictive for us to include the materials
in the repository)
Inclusion of materials in the repository does not modify their copyright
status in any way.
Materials may be placed in:
ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/user/ai/new/
When you put anything in this directory, please send mail to
ai+contrib(a)cs.cmu.edu giving us permission to distribute the files, and
state whether this permission is just for the AI Repository, or also
includes publication on the CD-ROM version (Prime Time Freeware for AI).
We would appreciate if you would include a 0.doc file for your package;
see /user/ai/new/package.doc for a template. (If you don't have the
time to write your own, we can write it for you based on the
information in your package.)
-------------------------------------
Prime Time Freeware for AI (CD-ROM):
-------------------------------------
A portion of the contents of the repository is published annually by
Prime Time Freeware. The first issue consists of two ISO-9660 CD-ROMs
bound into a 224-page book. Each CD-ROM contains approximately 600
megabytes of gzipped archives (more than 2 gigabytes uncompressed and
unpacked). Prime Time Freeware for AI is particularly useful for folks
who do not have FTP access, but may also be useful as a way of saving
disk space and avoiding annoying FTP searches and retrievals.
Prime Time Freeware helped establish the CMU AI Repository, and sales
of Prime Time Freeware for AI will continue to help support the
maintenance and expansion of the repository. It sells (list) for US$60
plus applicable sales tax and shipping and handling charges. Payable
through Visa, MasterCard, postal money orders in US funds, and checks
in US funds drawn on a US bank. For further information on Prime Time
Freeware for AI and other Prime Time Freeware products, please contact:

Repository Maintainer:
------------------------
The AI Repository was established by Mark Kantrowitz in 1993 as an
outgrowth of the Lisp Utilities Repository (established 1990) and his
work on the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) postings for the AI, Lisp,
Scheme, and Prolog newsgroups. The Lisp Utilities Repository has been
merged into the AI Repository.
Bug reports, comments, questions and suggestions concerning the repository
should be sent to Mark Kantrowitz <AI.Repository(a)cs.cmu.edu>. Bug reports,
comments, questions and suggestions concerning a particular software
package should be sent to the address indicated by the author.

Kovacs:
Hosszu tavu perceptualis teri interakciokat vizsgalo pszichofizikai
kiserleteink eredmenyei egy tengely alapu alak reprezentacio jelenletere
utalnak az emberi latorendszerben. A tengely alapu alak reprezentacio ket
okbol fontos. (1) Olyan alak leirast tesz lehetove, amely lokalis
elemzesen alapul es megis tukrozi az alak globalis tulajdonsagait, valamint
ad hoc primitivek bevezetese nelkul teszi lehetove a targyak
szegmentalasat, es optimalis reprezentaciot nyujt a memoriaban valo
tarolasra. (2) Erdekes perspektivat nyujt az agyelmeletek szamara, mivel az
`alak' letrehozasa tulmutat a latas kerdeskoren, megalapozvan kepessegunket
koherens erzekletek es gondolatok letrehozasara barmely dimenzioban.
Fiser:
Az emberi formalatas "magasabbrenduseget" az allatok
latasmechanizmusaval szemben altalaban absztrakt invariancia kiserletekkel
bizonyitjak. Ezek a kiserletek az emberi latas robusztus voltat mutatjak be
kulonbozo kep manipulaciokkal szemben. A problema, hogy ezek a kiserletek
tobbnyire absztrakt stimulusokkal, rajzokkal, vagy betukkel dolgoznak,
ezert nem vilagos hogy az eredmenyek mennyire altalanosithatoak a
formalatas vizualis folyamataira, es mennyiben koszonhetoek kognitiv
folyamatoknak. A jelen kiserlet az egyik feltetelezett invarianciat a
formalatas meret-invarianciajat veszi tuzetesebb vizsgalat ala valos kepek
hasznalataval. Az eredmenyek azt mutatjak, hogy a vizualis priming
paradigmajat hasznalo vonalrajzokon alapulo tesztek, melyek szerint az
emberi formalatas fuggetlen a targy meretetol, altalanosithatoak. Az
emberi formalatas meretfuggetlen bizonyos vizualis szogon belul, es ez a
meretfuggetlenseg nem fuggvenye az input absztraktsagi szintenek.

Kulcsszavak: egysejt reszletek, ritmusok, serkento-gatlo
kolcsonhatasok, halozatszerkezet, tanulasi szabalyok, memoria modellek
Grober:
Egyetlen sejt mukodesenek reszleteit nagy sejtpopulaciok halozati
modelljeiben nem erdemes es altalaban nem is lehetseges figyelembe
venni. Statisztikus neurodinamikai modellben azonban elerhetjuk, hogy
(i) az egysejt-kiserletek eredmenyei a modellbe kozvetlenul beepithetok
legyenek; (ii) ezek alapjan tetszoleges meretu sejtpopulacio mukodeset
tudjuk szimulalni; (iii) az egysejt-szintu es populacios esemenyek
egyarant kovethetok es a megfelelo kiserletekkel osszehasonlithatok
legyenek. E kovetelmenyekhez igazitott kinetikus modellunket a
hippocampusra alkalmazzuk.
Foldiak:
Mire kovetkeztethetunk egy vagy tobb idegsejt aktivitasabol?
Hogyan tudjuk a tobb sejt valaszabol szarmazo informaciot optimalisan
kombinalni? A Bayes-fele statisztika alkalmazasa nagyon hasznos lehet
ezen kerdesek megvalaszolasara; hasznosabb, mint egyeb, tobbe-
kevesbe tetszoleges modszerek, mint peldaul a "populacios vektor" modszer.
Marcell:
A belso reprezentacion torteno aktivitasterjesztes lehetoseget

aktivitas) javitja a felismeresi lehetosegeket. Az LGN idealisan

texturaszegmentaciot eredmenyez.
Szepesvari:
A dimenzioredukcios problema megoldasa a belso

palyatervezesre. A Lei fele terjedo aktivitas jobb eredmenyeket ad a

Subject: CogSci-94: Searchable index of titles, authors, abstracts, and sessions
Date: 6 Jul 94 10:29:34
The titles, authors, and abstracts of all the papers and talks to be
presented at the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society
(CogSci-94) are available on the World Wide Web (WWW), along with the
complete technical program and list of sessions.
Each paper is indexed along with its title, authors, and abstract, the date
and time it is scheduled to be presented, and its page numbers in the
proceedings (being published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Hillsdale, NJ).
Each talk, poster, symposium, and plenary session is indexed along with its
date and time and the list of papers scheduled to be presented in that
session.
The index can be searched using keywords; general regular expression search
is also available. To access the index, use Mosaic or any other WWW browser
[see footnote] to access the following URL:
http://www.gatech.edu/cogsci/cogsci.html
(To do this, choose OPEN URL from the FILE menu, then type in the above URL.)
Click on "Sixteenth Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society" to
access the information page for this conference. Click on "Index of titles,
authors, and abstracts" to access the index. Finally, type in your keywords
in the search box.
Other conference information, including the registration brochure and
information on travel and local arrangements is also available from the
conference information page; simply click on whatever you're interested in.
This information is also available by anonymous FTP from ftp.cc.gatech.edu in
the directory /pub/cogsci94.

--------------------------------------------
(footnote)
Mosaic is free, public-domain software that runs on most platforms, including
Unix machines, VMS machines, Macintoshes, NeXTs, IBM PC/Windows, X
workstations, and under Emacs, and provides a simple hypercard-like
point-and-click interface to any piece of information anywhere on the
network. Most systems already have Mosaic installed; if yours doesn't,
simply copy the executable file from NCSA's FTP site (ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu).
More help on Mosaic and the World Wide Web is available from the USENET
newsgroup comp.infosystems.www, and on-line in Mosaic itself. Many other WWW
browsers are also available and may be used to search the index (for example,
Lynx, which does not require a graphics-capable machine).
