Turing tests are procedures to test the functional equivalence of people and computers. They generalize the thought experiment proposed by the British mathematician Alan M. Turing (1912–1954) in his pioneering 1950 paper, "Computer...

The Turing test was developed by British mathematician Alan Turing as a means of assessing the capabilities of a computer to process information like a human brain. Turing devised a subjective test to answer the question "Can machines think?" In a 1950...

. Test devised by A.M.Turing for helping us to answer, or rather to provide a more precise substitute for, the question ‘Can machines think?’ The test takes the form of an imitation game. A human and a machine, both hidden behind a screen,...

The Turing test is a proposal for a test of a machine's capability to demonstrate intelligence. Described by Alan Turing in the 1950 paper "Computing machinery and intelligence," it proceeds as follows: a human judge engages in a natural language...

* If it is true that good problems produce good science, then it will be worthwhile to identify good problems, and even more worthwhile to discover the attributes that make them good problems. This discovery process is necessarily empirical, so we examine several...

Automation and control engineers brush against expert systems, Bayesian networks, neural networks, and fuzzy systems-artificial intelligence (AI). However, mention AI, and most people immediately transport themselves into a distant future inspired by popular science fiction. Humankind either co-exists in blissful peace with...
