"I think Lenat is headed in the right direction, but someone needs to include a knowledge base about learning."

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Marvin Minsky
"Stanley Kubrick knew we had good graphics around MIT and came to my lab to find out how to do it. We had some really good stuff. I was very impressed with Kubrick; he knew all the graphics work I had ever heard of, and probably more."

Work

Marvin Minsky
"The basic idea in case-based, or CBR, is that the program has stored problems and solutions. Then, when a new problem comes up, the program tries to find a similar problem in its database by finding analogous aspects between the problems."

Idea

Marvin Minsky

"Kubrick's vision seemed to be that humans are doomed, whereas Clarke's is that humans are moving on to a better stage of evolution."

Vision

Marvin Minsky
"No computer has ever been designed that is ever aware of what it's doing; but most of the time, we aren't either."

Time

Quote_1.png
Marvin Minsky
"This is a tricky domain because, unlike simple arithmetic, to solve a calculus problem - and in particular to perform integration - you have to be smart about which integration technique should be used: integration by partial fractions, integration by parts, and so on."

Arithmetic

"Around 1967 Dan Bobrow wrote a program to do algebra problems based on symbols rather than numbers."

Numbers

"I heard that the same thing occurred in a scene in Alien, where the creature pops out of the chest of a crewman. The other actors didn't know what was to happen; the director wanted to get true surprise."

"When David Marr at MIT moved into computer vision, he generated a lot of excitement, but he hit up against the problem of knowledge representation; he had no good representations for knowledge in his vision systems."
