In the days and sets a new high school to prepare for important tests added to the logs information that important test was passed after 64 years should not be a cause for joy. Yet.

This arcytrudny test, which required decades of work on finding the right answer is the Turing test. Turing was a famous British mathematician, the test is to determine the level of artificial intelligence machines and zdającym a computer algorithm.

Turing Test

We take the test definition from Wikipedia . “The Turing test is a method for determining the ability of the machine to use natural language and indirectly having to prove her mastery of thinking skills in a manner similar to a human. This test was proposed in 1950 by Alan Turing. Turing proposed the test in order to replace full of emotion and its the concept meaningless question “Is the machine think?” to the question better defined, in the context of research on the development of artificial intelligence. ” In short, the Turing test is to determine whether the machine thought. Can not really about what he thinks, but is able to respond to the questions asked by the people and if anyone could believe such a conversation during that leads a conversation with a real person. To experience the need for two people and machines. Man number one person asks questions 2 and computer. Conversation partners are located in separate, isolated areas so that no one person does not have any information about them. The computer can pretend to be a man, a man may play a style of computing. The test does not see hear any voices responders, or does not show him where they come from answers. Got identical looking prints, on the basis of which after a certain time (usually it is about a few minutes), you must decide whether talking to a machine or with another person. Simple? It seems trivial, but to fight for the completion of such a test are issued the most advanced mechanisms that are likely to know the answers to most questions that people may come to mind.

One of the most fierce of students who tirelessly approached the test was Cleverbot algorithm. For over 20 years talked and talked to users, saving immeasurable in its memory designs to keep and chat. For 17 years you could talk to him on the network, the creators of the program have calculated that so far has conducted tens of millions of calls. Many, but it turns out that to trick a man is not enough. During the festival of innovation in the Indian Guwahati in 2011, the program was able to convince 59.3% of the participants. Apparently more than half headers already appeared that the machine for the first time in history passed the Turing test, but rated the man as more respondents, 63.3%. Ran 4 percent …

famous mathematician

Who was the famous Turing, whose name bears the test? Alan Turing is a very interesting character, an English mathematician, who as a child had to contend with a lot of adversity. When he came into the world, the United Kingdom was still really great and colonial. His father worked in the Indian civil service, and for a moment he left India to Alan was born in England. Immediately after the birth of their son returned to Asia, the mother left the boy under the care of governesses less than a year later and joined her husband. Young genius and future specialist emerging branch of knowledge, artificial intelligence, not first found in the school, and after many adventures he discovered a tendency to homosexuality. Currently, there are no emotions arouse, but homosexuality in the 20s in the British Empire was not a value that particularly appreciated. Turing was because of this problem, in addition unhappily in love with a partner, who died young of tuberculosis.

This is a mismatch to the world, both in terms of leaving the parents of disagreement with their peers and to the difficulty in the emotional sphere meant that Alan Turing devoted himself to work on something that turned out to be the foundation to build the first computer – the so-called universal Turing machine. This was done already in 1936. He was 24 years old. He proved that you can build a device capable of executing commands, and consequently showed a prototype of the world’s first computer. The fate of genius unfolded, however, very negative, for Turing stretched shadows homosexual past, in 1952, at the height of the Cold War, began to blackmail him one of the lovers. Turing has not attempts to extort money, he reported to the police and voluntarily surrendered chemical castration. In the 50s homosexuality in Britain was prohibited and stigmatized in such a, extreme way.
