Project Turing Demonstration Help

Online Project Turing demonstration help

To see Project Turing in action you need to enter a valid sentence. Although there is a lot of activity under the covers, this application only displays matched sentences by design.

After receiving text, Project Turing finds the stored patterns and returns the sentences matched. Its success relies on whether your words are recognised (they should be in the WordNet® dictionary) and whether the other patterns (phrases, sentences and other associations) are stored. At this time, the online version doesn't cover the full range of words and word combinations in English.

Future versions of the intelligent dictionary will be based on a system that learns phrases through experience, instead of the hand-entered version we use today. That will cater to broader applications.

Limitations

This online demonstration shows how Project Turing has resulted in a new machine-based capability to recognise complex sentences. It is a static tool in that its knowledge is loaded once and interaction does not result in new, learned capabilities at this point in time. The purpose of the program is to demonstrate what is possible with the technology. New installations of the software can easily expand this basic functionality.

Please refer to the FAQ section if you have other questions.
