AM
1. Amplitude Modulation.
2. A program by Doug Lenat to
discover concepts in elementary mathematics. AM was written
in 1976 in Interlisp. From 100 fundamental concepts and
about 250 heuristics it discovered several important
mathematical concepts including subsets, disjoint sets, sets
with the same number of elements, and numbers. It worked by
filling slots in frames maintaining an agenda of
resource-limited prioritised tasks.
AM's successor was Eurisko.
