2004 Loebner Prize Contest

2004 Loebner Prize Contest 09/23/2004 03:06 PM
This year's Loebner Prize contest ended without a winner again. The Gold and Silver medals in this real-world Turing Test have so far gone unclaimed. The Gold medal and a $100,000 prize go to the first program that is indistinguisable from a human during a conversation with a panel of judges communicating over a terminal. The Silver medal goes to the first program to convince half the judges that it's human. Each year a bronze medal is also awarded to the judges pick of the most human-like program. This year, as in 2000 and 2001, the bronze medal went to Richard Wallace for Alicebot.

Stanford rejects hacker applicants: As near as I can tell, these people didn't do any "hacking," per se. They just put their ID numbers into a querystring argument. You'd have to be pretty loose with the term to call that "hacking."

Admissions sites of at least six schools were accessed by applicants for about 10 hours in early March after a hacker posted instructions in a BusinessWeek Online forum.

The instructions told people to log onto their admissions Web page and find their identification numbers in source material that was available on the site. By plugging those numbers into another Web page address, they were directed to a page where their admissions decision would be found.

Go Stinky go!!!

Go Stinky go!!! 03/30/2005 11:30 AM
Four high school students -- gold chains, fake diamond rings, patchy, adolescent mustaches and sharp brains -- take on MIT and others in a robot competition. They're undocumented Mexican Americans living in trailers and shabby houses in Arizona. They raise only $800 from the community to fund their project, while the MIT team raises $11,000 from corporate donors. They have to scrounge for the "most best tampons" at the last moment to fix a leak in their robot. The other teams snicker at their garishly painted robot when it's unveiled poolside. You know how this is going to end. You know. But it's very satisfying to read nonetheless. (via Amygdala)

Stinky links

Stinky links 02/05/2005 09:50 PM

A few friends started posting all their daily links to their blog like I've been doing for the past few months, and when I see their sites pop up into my blo.gs sidebar or my bloglines account, I get all excited that they wrote something, but then there's a bit of a let down when I realize it's another set of 4-5 links.

Then I looked at my own site, filled with ten posts of 3-4 dumb links and sighed. After five years of doing this, I never thought I'd be reduced to handfuls of interesting links sprinkled with a dab of jokey commentary. Maybe that's what killed Anil's site.

Stinky ROV from Phoenix Takes on MIT

Stinky ROV from Phoenix Takes on MIT 03/29/2005 02:59 PM
There's an entertaining new Wired article about a team of four Mexican immigrants from a Phoenix High School taking on MIT and other top schools in the recent MATE ROV contest. Their ROV, named Stinky, was hacked together from PVC pipe and other off-the-shelf parts. Their unconventional design combined with some last minute help from feminine hygiene products resulted in a favorable showing compared to robots entered by leading Universities. Stinky ended up with the design award and the team received a special achievement award in addition to being declared the overall winner of the competition. Their story inspired the Phoenix Union High School District to create the La Vida Robot scholarship fund to benefit the further education of the four team members: Cristian Arcega, Lorenzo Santillan, Luis Aranda, and Oscar Vazquez. More photos are available on the team's website, as is a technical report (PDF format) describing their ROV.
