Fifth Generation Computer Systems Project, Japan
In October 1981, Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry launched the Fifth Generation Computer Systems project, a ten-year state-funded programme delegated to the newly created Institute for New Generation Computer Technology (ICOT), aiming to build computers capable of logical inference, natural-language processing, and machine vision, with a budget of approximately 54 billion yen.
Meta-Level Knowledge in Expert Systems: Davis and Lenat's Formalisation at Stanford
In 1977, Randall Davis and Douglas Lenat at Stanford University published research formalising meta-level knowledge, a system's explicit representations of its own knowledge and reasoning strategies, and demonstrated its application in the MYCIN and AM expert systems to improve inference control and self-directed learning.
