TL;DR
The intensive use of memory to recall specific episodes from the past—rather than rules—should be the foundation of machine reasoning.

The MIT Press eBooksAdaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems
35,568 Citations1992John H. Holland
Initially applying his concepts to simply defined artificial systems with limited numbers of parameters, Holland goes on to explore their use in the study of a wide range of complex, naturally occuring processes, concentrating on systems having multiple factors that interact in nonlinear ways.

19,349 Citations1982J. J. Hopfield
A model of a system having a large number of simple equivalent components, based on aspects of neurobiology but readily adapted to integrated circuits, produces a content-addressable memory which correctly yields an entire memory from any subpart of sufficient size.

4,355 Citations1959Arthur L. Samuel
A new signature-table technique is described together with an improved book-learning procedure which is thought to be much superior to the linear polynomial method and to permit the program to look ahead to a much greater depth than it otherwise could do.
Journal of the ACMA Machine-Oriented Logic Based on the Resolution Principle

The paper concludes with a discussion of several principles which are applicable to the design of efficient proof-procedures employing resolution as the basle logical process.
Artificial IntelligenceThe knowledge level
2,484 Citations1982Allen Newell
A theory of the nature of knowledge is proposed, namely, that there is another computer system level immediately above the symbol (or program) level and knowledge itself is the processing medium at this level and the principle of rationality plays a central role.
Scientific AmericanThe Connection Machine
1,614 Citations1987W. Daniel Hillis
The Connection Machine describes a fundamentally different kind of computer that Daniel Hillis and others are now developing to perform tasks that no conventional, sequential machine can solve in a reasonable time.

Cognitive ScienceConnectionist Models and Their Properties
1,324 Citations1982Jerome A. Feldman, D.H. Ballard
A general connectionist model is introduced and how it might be used in cognitive science is considered, among the issues addressed are: stability and noise-sensitivity, distributed decision-making, time and sequence problems, and the representation of complex concepts.

Communications of the ACMData parallel algorithms
891 Citations1986W. Daniel Hillis, Guy L. Steele
The success of data parallel algorithms—even on problems that at first glance seem inherently serial—suggests that this style of programming has much wider applicability than was previously thought.
Machine LearningExplanation-Based Learning: An Alternative View
835 Citations1986Gerald DeJong, Raymond J. Mooney
Six specific problems with the previously proposed framework for the explanation-based approach to machine learning are outlined and an alternative generalization method to perform explanation- based learning of new concepts is presented.
Elsevier eBooksGPS, A PROGRAM THAT SIMULATES HUMAN THOUGHT
817 Citations1988Allen Newell, Herbert A. Simon
This work shows that the techniques that have emerged for constructing sophisticated problem-solving programs also provide us with new, strong tools for constructing theories of human thinking that finally reveal with great clarity that the free behavior of a reasonably intelligent human can be understood as the product of a complex but finite and determinate set of laws.

Cognitive ScienceIntegrated Learning: Controlling Explanation
150 Citations1986Michael Lebowitz
A combination of the two methods—applying explanation-based techniques during the course of similiarity-based learning can achieve the power of explanationbased learning without some of the computational problems that can otherwise arise in domains lacking detailed explanatory rules.

69 Citations1983Eugene Charniak
It is shown that the objections most frequently raised against the use of Bayesian statistics within the Al-in-medicine community do not seem to hold and it is argued thatBayesian statistics is perfectly compatible with heuristic solutions to the multiple disease problem.
Not the path to perdition: the utility of similarity-based learning
52 Citations1986Michael Lebowitz
Four reasons why robust machine learning must involve the integration of similarity-based and explanation-based methods are presented, and it is argued that it may not always be practical or even possible to determine a causal explanation.
