Turing Test

Post by Jonnywhy » Wed Oct 22, 2008 4:51 pm

Don't know how many of you have heard of the 'Turing Test', but it was nearly passed for the first time last week here at Reading University.

It's a test to try and create a machine to fool interregators (i.e. humans) that it is human, and to do so must fool 30% of interregators. The winner managed 25%. See the short video for more!

he lost me with "The Baroque Cycle". words for the sake of it I thought. Too much fluff n waffle.

...as for you being a machine...

I studied Turing for about a year under the philosophy of language, logic and meaning.
I'm getting twitches just hearing the name.

Still interesting though.
