Turing test: History & Standards

The Turing test was designed by Alan Turing to assess a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to that of a human by imitating interactive dialogue. In the modern version, a human evaluator judges a text transcript of a natural-language conversation between a human and a machine. The evaluator tries to identify the machine, and the…

How Turing test connects Entity context

The extracted context around Turing test shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Turing test → AISB, Andrew Hodges, Artificial Intelligence, Behaviour, Bringsjord, Huma Shah, In, John Barnden, Kevin Warwick, Loebner Prize, Mark Bishop, No, Owen Holland, Reading, Royal Institution's Director Baroness, Selmer Bringsjord, Simulation, Society, Study, Susan Greenfield Another extracted example is Turing test → Archived, Chedd-Angier Production Company, Edward, ISSN, January, Julian WagstaffTuring Test, Long Now Foundation, Mitch Kapor, New York Times, OCLC, Opera, PBS, Philosophy, Ray Kurzweil, Scientific American Frontiers, Stanford Encyclopedia, The, The Turing, The Turing Test, Turing. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
