Upcoming AI Contest
2011 Loebner Prize Contest
(October 19, 2011 - University of Exeter UK)
Rules: http://loebner.net/Prizef/2011_Contest/Loebner_Prize_Rules_2011.html
Prize money: $5,750 USD minimum
Submission dates: May 2 - June 6, 2011.
Finalists: Only the first 16 entries that meet the requirements will receive further evaluation
Background: "In 1990 Hugh Loebner agreed with The Cambridge
Center for Behavioral Studies to underwrite a contest designed to
implement the Turing Test. Dr. Loebner pledged a Grand Prize of
$100,000 and a Gold Medal for the first computer whose responses
were indistinguishable from a human's. Such a computer can be said "to think." Each year an annual prize of $2000 and a bronze medal is
awarded to the most human-like computer. The winner of the annual
contest is the best entry relative to other entries that year, irrespective of how good it is in an absolute sense.“ http://www.loebner.net/Prizef/loebner-prize.html. Example: http://loebner.net/Prizef/JComm.txt
