Loebner prize - Definition and Overview |
|
|
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
- $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, auditory (and tactile?) 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.
