2008 International ESA Conference / The Turing Project / Caltech

常有人把加州理工学院跟麻省理工学院作比较。加州理工学院比MIT晚建三十年，一八九一年才建校，规模也小得多。MIT有四千五百多人的本科生队伍，再加上研究生，校园里有将近一万名学子。而在加州理工学院呢，本科生人数不到一千人，加上研究生也不过两千来人，在规模上，这是一所小学校；从环境来讲，这里风景秀丽，校园内点缀着荷花池、橄榄树，比起MIT工厂厂房似的建筑确实是大胜一筹。可是，加州理工学院藏书只有五十三万册，虽不算少，但比起MIT的二百五十万册来实在相形见绌。

The Turing Project 
The Turing Project organizes and conducts the Turing Tournament, a two-sided tournament designed to find, on the one hand, the best computer programs to mimic human behavior, and on the other hand, the best computer programs to detect the difference between machine and human behavior.
