There are other tests which are an alternative to the Turning test, to test whether a computer can have a conversation like a human. Hector Levesque, a Computer Science professor at the University of Toronto states that “The Turing Test relies too much on deception. A computer program passes the test if it can fool an interrogator into thinking she is dealing with a person not a computer”2. So he proposed the Winograd Schema Challenge, this test consists of a specifically styled question that has multiple choice, as an answering format. This test uses simple questions that can be answered by any human, but unlike the Turing test, these questions require logic, common sense, and reasoning that can only be fulfilled with true human intelligence. …show more content…
When actually they have just been programmed with certain abilities, and they cannot extend beyond this, unlike us human, who can develop and extend their knowledge, and logic. Levesque’s basic theory behind this Winograd Schema Challenge, is testing the chatterbot by asking it a question that it is likely not to be familiar or programmed to have an answer to, and so it tests the chatterbot’s immediate response based on its pure intelligence. Lovesick published another sample question which displayed this “Could a crocodile run a steeplechase?”2 this question is so unique, many of us human may not have never heard or thought of it, but when we hear this question an answer forms in our mind due to the logical, and common intelligence that we have, where as a chatter bot may not be able to answer this …show more content…
To experiment with the techniques that chatterbot’s use to act like a human, I made conversations with three chatterbots; Alice, Cleverbot, and Eliza. Cleverbot, unlike many other chatterbots, is not programmed with responses that can be output to the user’s questions, he instead uses the technique of learning from the users. In 2011, Cleverbot took part in a Turning Test at the Techniche festival, he was judged to be 59.3% human, where as a human who also took part in the human achieved 63.3%3. This achievement by cleverbot is due to the technique which he uses, every time he gets an input from the user he store is in his large database, and when he is asked a question by the user, he conducts a database search and uses the keywords from the input to find a perfect match from past response, to reply to the current user. Since the reply from Cleverbot is one that was one typed in by a human, his responses sound like a
SRT1720 Description: EC50: 0.16 μM SRT1720 is a selective activator of SIRT1. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies using various cancer cell models show the role of SIRT1 either as an oncogene or a tumour suppressor gene. The oncogenic potential of SIRT1 is exemplified by studies indicating that blockade of SIRT1, like other HDACs, triggers growth arrest and apoptosis in breast, colon and lung cancers.

User authentication in Ubuntu 15.04 systems in an AD environment All HACKD, LLC systems are supposed to be connected to the Microsoft Active Directory domain. However, after implementing Ubuntu 15.04 in the systems that were running on Windows XP, there is a need to ensure interoperability by allowing Ubuntu users to join the AD domain using their credentials. In such instances, the Samba software suite is used to provide AD connectivity and provide stable, secure and fast file sharing and print services to all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol. In this case, Samba is a critical component for integrating Linux clients in a Windows environment (Samba.org, 2015).
1. Goal The primary purpose of this lab was to get familiar with RLES and establish a base infrastructure. This infrastructure includes a router/firewall and Linux server for network monitoring and documentation. Network monitoring is crucial in any infrastructure, no matter how small or how large.
Hellen Keller overcame her disabilities to become a great author and a lead example to all people with disabilities to show that nothing is impossible. Having no way to communicate or see my surroundings is impossible to imagine and is a great obstacle to overcome especially more than 100 years ago. I would imagine that my life would be completely different with two major disabilities such as Hellen Keller and would be very difficult without a great teacher like Anne Sullivan. I would feel trapped if I were to lose my ability to use language later in life and would not know what to do. I would not be able to talk, see, read or write and that leaves me with no form of communication.

In Prisoner B-3078 by Alan Gratz, Yanek is a young boy who gets captured by Nazis and brought to the holocaust. As months come he gets transported to different concentration camps daily. Yanek finds ways to survive the holocaust, using courage, determination, and being fortunate. These traits help him succeed in his main goal, survival.
The Tel Dan Stele, or the “House of David” inscription, is a black basalt slab dated to the eighth or ninth century BCE. In 1993, at an excavation directed by Avraham Biran and in the ruin (“tel”) of the city Dan in northern Israel, fragment A of the stele was discovered. A year later, in 1994, fragments B1 and B2 were discovered by Biran and his colleague Joseph Naveh. The inscriptions were written in Aramaic. Although the beginning of the Tel Dan Stele was missing, which would have the name of the king who commissioned the stele, most scholars believe the king was Hazael of Damascus.
Introduction For the current book review the novel “Ivanhoe” of the great Scottish writer, Sir Walter Scott, was chosen. Among the classics of the world literature the name of Sir Walter Scott takes far not the last place. The admitted master of the historical novel, Walter Scott, is well known as an author of numerous works of literature and real masterpieces in the world literature treasury. Interesting fact is that he was starting his literary path as a poet, but the biggest success Walter Scott gained as the prosaic, his novels made him a world-known writer and gained his place among the greatest names of world literature legacy.
Jack Ma once said, “The world needs new leadership, but the new leadership is about working together.” This could not be more true at Boston University through its Kilachand Honors College. I believe it is because their approach of interdisciplinary problem-solving, is about expanding students’ world-views. In this program you are learning with different individuals who have different interest and fields of study. According to Pew Research Center, “Political polarization is the defining feature of early 21st century American politics...”.
I am honored to be eligible amongst the meritorious students who are being considered for induction within the National Honors Society. Being an active member in this society has been something I have been looking forward to since middle school; having previous family members inducted, I regard it as a goal I must accomplish. I would be honored to be a member of this society which is known for benefitting children, the elderly, and the needy .These limitless opportunities of contributing to my community will help me grow as a person which will undoubtedly help me in my future career as oncologist and leave an impact on my fellow community members. The National Honors Society is a remarkable organization for someone who demonstrates leadership,
The Turing test has become the most widely accepted test of artificial intelligence and the most influential. There are also considerable arguments that the Turing test is not enough to confirm intelligence. Legg and Hutter (2007) cite Block (1981) and Searle (1980) as arguing that a machine may appear intelligent by using a very large set of
In “The Mating Mind”, Miller suggests that “Human intelligence can be demonstrated very effectively through verbal courtship and any machine capable of verbal courtship should be considered genuinely intelligent”. I find this idea very interesting and I think that we can be inspired by our ancestors’ courtship strategies in the field of artificial intelligence. For example, an intelligent machine can be designed to try to “attract” other machines by developing more sophisticated programs and by using a language of communication. Every machine could be given the possibility to choose the machine to “mate” with i.e. to merge its program with.
In support of his findings, Skinner eventually realized that human beings could not only respond also manage their environment to induce results. However, Skinner and Watson both repudiated that thinking or emotion plays a significant role in determining behavior. Instead, humans appear to learn many behaviors -including languages- through repetitions and positive or negative reinforcement. Scientifically speaking, behaviorism explains how learning takes place. When it is taken into account in the field of language teaching, it shows how languages are learned.
The attraction of artificial intelligence for me lies in its breadth of applicability, both as a method of problem solving in itself and in a symbiotic integration with other areas of computer science. A broad spectrum of applications exist within the artificial intelligence field, ranging from intelligent non-player controlled characters in computer game software to a ubiquitous computing solution that intelligently reacts to a variety of users. This diversity is one of the main reasons that I feel compelled to pursue artificial intelligence further. While I have striven to develop my understanding of artificial intelligence during my undergraduate education, the choreographed requirements of a bachelor's degree have restricted my research to only a minute sample of artificial intelligence’s applications. During my exposure to the field, I have often been unsatisfied with the level of interaction artificial intelligence displays in response to prompts of varying complexity.
