}The Turing Test was proposed by Alan Turing in 1950; he called it the Imitation Game. In 1991 Hugh Loebner started the Loebner Prize competition, offering a $100,000 prize to the author of the first computer program to pass an unrestricted Turing test. Annual competitions are held each year with smaller prizes for the best program on a restricted Turing test. This paper describes the development of one such Turing System, including the technical design of the program and its performance on the…

Covert Implementations of the Turing Test: A More Level Playing Field?
- Computer ScienceSGAI Conf.
- 2016
This paper looks at two recent covert Turing Tests in order to test the hypothesis that a covert Turing Test provides a more level playing field for a chatbot, and hence an earlier opportunity to pass the Turing Test (or equivalent) in its overt, declared form.

Passing Loebner's Turing Test: A Case of Conflicting Discourse Functions1
- SociologyMinds and Machines
- 2004
This paper argues that the Turing test is based on a fixed and de-contextualized view of communicative competence, and that the contest designers need to resolve this ambiguity in discourse function to encourage the production of software that can pass for human on the level of conversational ability.
Solving Winograd Schema Challenge : Using Semantic Parsing, Automatic Knowledge Acquisition and Logical Reasoning
- Computer Science

A novel technique to solve the Winograd Schema Challenge, a question answering test for predicting the human level intelligence in machines that consists of sentence and question pairs such that the answer to the question depends on the resolution of a definite pronoun or adjective in the sentence.
The Anatomy of A.L.I.C.E.
- Philosophy
- 2009
It is shown how to use AIML to create robot personalities like A.I.L.C.E. that pretend to be intelligent and selfaware, and some of the philosophical literature on the question of consciousness is considered, including Searle's Chinese Room, and the view that natural language understanding by a computer is impossible.

It is argued that the Loebner prize competition has no clear purpose, that its design prevents any useful outcome, and that such a competition is inappropriate given the current level of technology.

The book mentions some important concerns which are obscured by harsh and sometimes shrill accusations against the Artificial Intelligence research community, but it seems to me that the personal attacks distract and mislead the reader from more valuable abstract points.

The question, “Can machines think?” is considered, and the question is replaced by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.

The first large-scale implementation of the Turing Test was set in motion in 1985, with the first contest taking place in 1991 and showing that although conversational computer programs are still quite primitive, distinguishing a person from a computer when only brief conversations are permitted can be challenging.
