语言与图灵测试

讨论了语言的三指功能(指名、指物、指心)与图灵测试的关系,指出早期的人工智能研究一般假设语言三指等价,因此致力于实现其中之一的功能.如果一个功能实现了,其他两个功能也就实现了, 比如图灵测试将智能的表现限定在指名功能里.但是,现代科学已经证明,语言三指不一定等价.这给人工智能的研究带来很大挑战,本文罗列了一些开放性问题,如对话的理论计算机制等.

Language and Turing Test

This paper discusses relation between three language functions (denotation, connotation, annotation) and Turing test, and points out that it is usually assumed that three language functions (denotation, connotation, annotation) are equivalent in early stage of AI research. Under such assumption, many efforts are devoted to implementing one of three language functions and suppose that one becoming true results in two others. For example, intelligence can be fully implemented through annotation function of language in Turing test. However, it has been proved that three language functions (denotation, connotation, annotation) are not equivalent, which bring great challenges to AI research. In this paper, we list some open problems in AI research, such as computational theory of dialogue.
