Nuance Communications has announced a new yearly competition to develop artificially levelheaded agents capable of solving the “ Winograd Schema Challenge ” , a potential alternative to the Turing Test — and one that ’s intended to provide a more precise measuring of echt machine intelligence .
Indeed , the recent proclamation thatthe “ Eugene Goostman ” chatbot had passed the Turing Testhasexposed its inadequacies . The developer of the chatbot fooled judges into thinking it was a 13 - twelvemonth - old human rather than achieving true human - like cognitive capacities .

As noted by Hector Levesque , a professor of Computer Science at the University of Toronto , and a developer of the new test , “ Chatbots … can slang at least some judges into mean it is human , but that likely reveal more about how easy it is to fool some humans , specially in the class of a short conversation , than the bot ’s intelligence . ”
Levesque’sWinograd Schema Challenge(WSC ) takes a unlike approach . Instead of basing the exam on short gratis - form conversations , the WSC poses a curing of multiple - choice questions that await like this :
I. The trophy would not suit in the dark-brown grip because it was too big . What was too big ?
Answer 0 : the prize
Answer 1 : the suitcase
II . The town councilors refuse to give the demonstrators a permit because they feared fury . Who reverence violence ?
Answer 0 : the town councilors
Answer 1 : the furious demonstrator
The answer to these multiple alternative question should be reasonably obvious to the intermediate person , but ambiguous for machines devoid of human - like reasoning or intelligence . Indeed , humans apply a surprising number of cognitive acquirement when answering these question , admit abilities in spacial and interpersonal abstract thought , knowledge about the typical sizes of aim , how political demonstrations stretch , and many other types of commonsense reasoning .
What ’s more , ground on the equivocalness of the doubt , a machine ca n’t simply get at the Internet or a resource to find the answer ; it has to literally argue it out . So an expert organization like IBM ’s Watson would have a real difficult time with this test as it ’s designed for dissimilar tasks tout ensemble , namely natural language processing and datum acquisition / depth psychology ( and it does so by accept a probabilistic approach ) .
The WSC is being proposed as a way to measure and track advancement in the development of automated homo - similar reasoning skills . To that ending , a test will be administered on a yearly base byCommonsense Reasoning Symposium , the first to be contain at the 2015 AAAI Spring Symposia at Stanford University from March 23 to 25 , 2015 . Each year , the test will feature an only fresh set of interrogative . Researchers and bookman will be invited to design electronic computer program that simulate human intelligence . The succeeder that meets the service line for human performance will incur a grand dirty money of $ 25,000 .
