Minsky: Marvin

In the history of schema research, 1975 was a very good year. A number of schema-related papers appeared in a fairly short period of time, and they have had strong and lasting influence. Three individuals are frequently cited as primary instigators of the resurgence of schema theory Marvin Minsky, Roger Schank, and David Rumelhart. Each represents a unique viewpoint, uses differ-... 

As I pointed out in chapter 1, Marvin Minsky set forth five issues that a schema theory should address (Minsky, 1975). If we construe them as questions, we can ask how the theory outlined here would answer them. 

Frames are a technique for representing knowledge in a modular way that is ideally suited for object-oriented programming. The term frames was first proposed by Marvin Minsky in the early 1970s [11]. 

IT could help in such instances of unexplainable malaise by its power to analyze data on lifestyles and psychological and genetic differences and make recommendations, the same as for any more physical medical issue. Admittedly, to provide in the near future a more personalized service, an implementation of Marvin Minsky s caring agents, (Chapter 9) with a broader and more spiritual service than simply connecting to a wise human being will take some thinking outside the box. But what can be done soon is for mainstream... 

The history of neural networks, at least in its popular version, has its angels and demons. One of them is Marvin Minsky, referred to as the devil. Minsky and Papert wrote a book entitled Perceptrons (1969) in which they showed, among other things, some of the limitations of the neural networks that were popular at the time. This was interpreted by some as a very restrictive limit on all kinds of neural networks and it was interpreted by some as being the end of an era of funding for the then popular neural networks in order to make room for the more classical AI approadies promoted by Minsky and others. 

The beginning of AI research is ascribed to the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, organized by the scientists John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky. Intensive AI developments were connected in the... 

During the 1950s, traditional computing began, and as it did, it left research into neural networks in the dark. However, certain individuals continued research into neural networks. In 1954, Marvin Minsky wrote a doctorate thesis, Theory of Neural-Analog Reinforcement... 

The principle of confocal imaging was patented by Marvin Minsky in 1957 and is employed, at least in part, in modem confocal microscopes. 

In 1956, John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky organized a two-month summer conference on intelligent machines at Dartmouth College. To advertise the conference, McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence. ... 

The concept of a person s multiple identities, which had difficult acceptance some years ago, is well recognised today. Marvin Minsky, a cognitive scientist, criticises.
