TLDR
The design of Heuristic DENDRAL and its performance on different problems are used for a discussion of the design for a general problem solver that is a variant of the "big switch" theory of generality.Abstract:
Heuristic DENDRAL is a computer program written to solve problems of inductive inference in organic chemistry This paper will use the design of Heuristic DENDRAL and its performance on different problems for a discussion of the following topics: 1 the design for generality; 2 the performance problems attendant upon too much generality; 3 the coupling of expertise to the general problem solving processes; 4 the symbiotic relationship between generality and expertness, and the implications of this symbiosis for the study and design of problem solving systems We conclude the paper with a view of the design for a general problem solver that is a variant of the "big switch" theory of generalityread more

TL;DR: The artificial intelligence is a domain that holds more and more the attention of the economists, managers and other professions, because the systems based on knowledge, the expert systems, the system based on genetic algorithms, the fuzzy systems and the hybrid and neuronal systems are artificial intelligence systems that are on their way to occupying a more andMore important place in the professional life.

Aspects of computer learning
TL;DR: Some of the learning programs are based on the results of the observations of human performance and utilize concepts usually associated with self-organization, pattern recognition, self-adaptation, mechanized induction, control theory, and guided learning.

TL;DR: The recursive nature of rule-based systems shows potential to model synergies between instruments and measurements, at a sufficient level of fidelity for architectural trade studies, especially for the ones conducted in committees with experts such as Decadal Surveys.

Heuristic DENDRAL - A program for generating explanatory hypotheses in organic chemistry.
TL;DR: A computer program has been written which can formulate hypotheses from a given set of scientific data which describe molecular structures which are plausible explanations of the data by heuristic rules.
