I have the feeling this got so many upvotes because people think this is related to the turing test. And that we have a chatbot now that can trick the average person into thinking it's a human.
It's not.
It's about some incremental progress in making neuronal networks classify stuff.
- fooker 8y agoPretty sure the Turing award is at least as well known as the Turing test.
- TicklishTiger 8y ago"Pretty sure" how? Google trends seems to indicate the opposite. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=turing%20award,turing%20test https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=turing%20award,tu... But it's not about "well known" anyhow. It's about significance. A turing test winning chat bot would be a much bigger breakthrough then an incremental improvement in image and text classification.
- ccjnsn 8y agoDepends with what bias you want to read the data. It could mean no one needs to Google turing award because everyone knows what it is and don't know what the Turing test is.
- BlackJack 8y agoMaybe for the general public, but I'm sure the HN audience knows much better given the amount of people who studied computer science or are in tech.
- plibither8 8y agoMaybe elsewhere, but I'm quite certain that the HN crowd did not confuse the two, or even think about linking it with chatbots.
- Rainymood 8y agoYour downvotes seem to indicate that this is not true.
