Machine Learning History


In the machine learning history video you learned about some important milestone in the history of machine
learning. In this section, we will provide you with some resources to explore some of these events.

The Turing Test

The Turing Test was a test developed by Alan Turing to determine if a machine can think like a human.
According to the test, a machine can think like a human if can fool a human into believing it is a human
when engaging in a conversation with another human. To learn more about the Turing Test you can watch
this video “What is the Turing Test?”.

Alan Turing

Watson’s Victory in Jeopardy

Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter were some of the best contestants on the TV quiz show Jeopardy and in 2011
they agreed to play against IBM watson.The IBM Watson supercomputer beat two of the most successful
human contestants in a game of Jeopardy. This victory showcased a computers ability to search through vast
amounts of textual information, find potential answers and reason as to which of the potential answers would
be the right one. It also showcases how computers that can question and respond can make its way to our day
to day lives. To watch how IBM watson beat humans in the game of jeopardy and help understand what this
victory means in natural language understanding, you can watch the video Watson and the Jeopardy!
Challenge.

Project Debator

IBM developed Project Debator, an AI system that can take part in a live debate with humans. Human
language is complicated and language is how humans express and formulate their thoughts. To learn more
about the project debator and watch it engage in a live debate with Harish Natarajan, a grand finalist at the
2016 World debating championships and a graduate of the University of Oxford and the University of
Cambridge, you can watch the video “IBM Project Debater”.

Codex

OpenAI’s GPT-3 is a natural language model that can produce human-like text with a given prompt. After
GPT-3, OpenAI has created codex which has similar natural understanding as the GPT-3 but writes code
given a prompt in the english language. To watch a live demo of codex please click here.
