Computer Role Discussed
At University Assembly
Bv ALLEN BAILEY
Assistant News Editor
“Men and Systems as Proces
sors of Fallible Information” wa;.
the topic of a lecture given at a
University Assembly Tuesday
night by Ward Edwards, director
of the Engineering Psychology
Laboratory at the University of
Michigan.
The lecture covered recent de
velopments in “man machine sy»
teins for diagnostic problems." A
diagnostic problem would be sim
ilar to that encountered by a doc
tor, who must first decide what
a patient's illness is. then pre
scribe a remedy or cure
High-level military decision
, making is the primary area of Ed
ward’s work at present, and he
described a new process by which
military leaders may arrive at
their decisions,
The system would consist of
gathering all possible informa
tion on a major decision to be
made, then breaking the problem
down into smaller decisions.
The decisions reached on the
smaller problems would then he
given an official who would de
cide, on the basis of the answers
to the smaller problems, what the
major decision should be.
An interesting fact about this
process is that the small decisions.
101 Faculty, Staff Sponsor Vigil
me Rev. Robert Kingsbury,
director of Wesley Foundation,
has joined the rapidly growing
list of sponsors of the all night
protest against war in Viet Nam
which is planned for April 23. A
total of 101 faculty and staff
members have added their names
to the list of sponsors.
Steve Goldschmidt, candidate
for ASl’O President, is one of
the many students who has re
cently added their support to the
all night protest Student spon
sorship includes 15<i students, a
largo percentage of whom are
graduate students and teaching
assistants.
The evening public session,
Wayne Morse and three other
prominent critics of L'.S. policy
which will feature Senator
in Viet Nam, is expected to draw
a capacity crowd in the Student
Union ballroom According to Da
vid Aberle, chairman of the Fac
ulty-Student group. 200 to 200
faculty, students, and townspeo
ple are expected to stay for the
duration of the all-night protest.
or “subtasks,” may be reached by
machines (computers). At least,
the computers would figure out
the probabilities of a decision’s
being right.
To illustrate the effectiveness
of this type of decision making,
Edwards cited a California court
case in which two people had
been accused of a crime; however,
the evidence against them was
only circumstantial
The evidence was then broken
down into small problems and
the probability of each was cal
culated.
After that, they were all put
together and the probability
against the circumstances being
merely a coincidence, was calcu
lated It was 12 million to 1, and
the couple was convicted of the
crime by the jury.
