Loebner prize

From Free net encyclopedia

The Loebner Prize is an annual competition that awards prizes to the Chatterbot considered the most humanlike for that year. The format of the competition is much like that of a standard Turing test.

Prizes

The prizes for each year include:

• $2,000 for the most human-seeming of all bots for that year - awarded every year. In 2005, the prize was increased to $3,000, and the prize will be $2,250 in 2006.
• $25,000 for the first bot that judges cannot distinguish from a real human in a text-only based Turing test (awarded once only)
• $100,000 to the first bot that judges cannot distinguish from a real human in a Turing test that includes deciphering and understanding text, visual, and auditory input.

The Loebner Prize dissolves once the $100,000 prize is won.

Dr. Hugh Loebner established the prize in conjunction with the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies.
