Turns out, various researchers have come up with interesting machine intelligence tests which have been ignored by the community. So Shane and Marcus and have listed them all for ya on the arXiv.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Compression<\/strong>: a machine intelligence has to compress a corpus of knowledge. This can only be done effectively when the machine has some understanding of the knowledge which allows it to extract some kind of overall structure. So a measure of compression can be interpreted as a measure of understanding<\/p>\n<p><strong>Linguistic complexity<\/strong>: measuring a machine&#8217;s conversational ability using techniques developed for tracking the complexity of children&#8217;s language<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competitive games<\/strong>: a broad definition of intelligence is the ability to do well at a wide range of tasks. So one idea is to test machines against each other on a wide range of games<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The paper contains other tests so feel free to take a look.<\/p>\n<p>Ref: <a href=\"http:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/0712.3825\">arxiv.org\/abs\/0712.3825<\/a>: Tests of Machine Intelligence<\/p>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ya&#8217;ll heard of the Turing test for measuring machine intelligence.
