Visual Turing Test Visual Turing Test Computer vision research is driven by standard evaluation practices. The current systems are tested by their accuracy for tasks like object detection, segmentation and localization. Methods like the convolutional neural networks seem to be doing pretty well in these tasks, but the current systems are still not close to solving the ultimate problem of understanding images the way humans do. So motivated by the ability of humans to understand an image and even tell a story about it, Geman "et al." have introduced the Visual Turing Test for computer vision systems. As described in, it is “an
Turing test and Intelligence" (1950) was the first published paper by Turing to focus exclusively on machine intelligence. Turing begins the 1950 paper with the claim, "I propose to consider the question 'Can machines think? As he highlights, the traditional approach to such a question is to start with definitions, defining both the terms "machine" and "intelligence". Turing chooses not to do so; instead he replaces the question with a new one, "which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words." In essence he proposes to change the question from "Can machines think?" to "Can machines do what
