  • The Evolution of Lisp
    1 The Evolution of Lisp Guy L. Steele Jr. Richard P. Gabriel Thinking Machines Corporation Lucid, Inc. 245 First Street 707 Laurel Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142 Menlo Park, California 94025 Phone: (617) 234-2860 Phone: (415) 329-8400 FAX: (617) 243-4444 FAX: (415) 329-8480 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lisp is the world’s greatest programming language—or so its proponents think. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch. Overall, the evolution of Lisp has been guided more by institutional rivalry, one-upsmanship, and the glee born of technical cleverness that is characteristic of the “hacker culture” than by sober assessments of technical requirements. Nevertheless this process has eventually produced both an industrial- strength programming language, messy but powerful, and a technically pure dialect, small but powerful, that is suitable for use by programming-language theoreticians. We pick up where McCarthy’s paper in the first HOPL conference left off. We trace the development chronologically from the era of the PDP-6, through the heyday of Interlisp and MacLisp, past the ascension and decline of special purpose Lisp machines, to the present era of standardization activities. We then examine the technical evolution of a few representative language features, including both some notable successes and some notable failures, that illuminate design issues that distinguish Lisp from other programming languages. We also discuss the use of Lisp as a laboratory for designing other programming languages. We conclude with some reflections on the forces that have driven the evolution of Lisp.

    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE production systems as programming languages have been important in AI work at CMU.

  • 2015 Meeting of the Minds Program [Pdf]
    2 MEETING OF THE MINDS 2015 WELCOME WELCOME TO OUR 20TH MEETING OF THE MINDS. That ‘s right—it is our 20th anniversary and we are especially happy to celebrate this milestone with all of you. Meeting of the Minds is a true campus-wide event that touches all faculty, staff and students who are associated with our university. Twenty years ago, a far-thinking Associate Vice Provost, Barbara Lazarus—joined by an adventuresome graduate of Carnegie Mellon and founding director of the URO, Jessie Ramey— created our campus-wide research symposium aptly named Meeting of the Minds. It started very small with a handful of students. It has grown to be a hallmark of Carnegie Mellon and a model for others. There is a great deal to see and hear today. The abstracts in this booklet provide a good map to begin your journey. Be prepared for the descriptions to come alive in novel and interesting ways. Whether you travel through the poster displays or attend a few oral presentations, watch a performance or contemplate our art installations, you will be dazzled by the diversity and quality of the projects our undergraduates are showcasing. Feel free to visit people you know and those you don’t know. This is a chance to introduce yourself to different academic parts of our campus. There are two important times to keep in mind. At 2:30, President Subra Suresh will deliver a short keynote address in the first floor Kirr Commons area. We will also hold a drawing for participating students for a smart watch and a Fitbit, and make announcements for the final rounds of particular competitions.

  • Episodic Memory Representation in a Knowledge Base, with Application to Event Monitoring and Event Detection
    Episodic Memory Representation in a Knowledge Base, with Application to Event Monitoring and Event Detection Master’s Thesis Engin C¸ınar S¸ahin Committee Members Scott E. Fahlman Eric Nyberg Stephen F. Smith Language Technologies Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA, 15213 Abstract The thesis explores the use of a knowledge-based AI system to assist people in executing proce- dures and detecting events in an observed world. We extend the Scone knowledge-base system with open-ended facilities for representing time and events. Then we use this episodic knowledge repre- sentation as the foundation for our event monitoring and event detection algorithms. This approach lets us represent and reason about three fundamental aspects of the observed events: 1. their ontological character and what entities take part in these events (e.g. buying is a kind of transaction that involves an agent, a seller, money and goods) 2. how events change the world over time (e.g. after a buy event the agent has the goods rather than the money) 3. how events may be composed of other subevents (i.e. a buy event may be composed of giving money and receiving goods) We illustrate knowledge-based solutions to the event monitoring problem in the conference organization domain and to the event detection problem in the national security domain. i Acknowledgements First, I would like to thank my advisor Scott Fahlman for letting me learn so much from him. His invaluable experience and constant support helped me go through the ups and downs of research. Working with him, his passion and excitement for knowledge representation and reasoning has passed on to me.
