[Soviet Cybernetics : Recent News Items], No. 3.

Wade B. Holland

Expert InsightsPublished 1967

The April 1967 issue features a survey of research on automatic character recognition and text reading. A translated article on heuristic programming claims that Soviet mathematicians are appreciably ahead of their U.S. colleagues in machine pattern recognition and medical diagnostics, probably in chess playing, but behind in breadth of work and in equipping the projects with the best computer hardware. Other items report technical data, research budgets, new construction, a tabular comparison of U.S. and USSR computers, and a symposium on the use of redundancy in information and control systems. Relevant articles and photographs published during March in [Pravda, Izvestiya], the weekly [Economics Gazette], and the weekly English-language [Moscow News] are listed. 86 pp.
