Encouraged by the number of people who showed interest in the
transcripts of the 1991 Loebner Prize competition thanks to Gail Jenes,
Liz Armbuster and Steve Snow of the Boston Computer Museum.

For those who don't know the Loebner Prize is awarded yearly to the
program/machine which fools the largest number of judges into believing
it is another human being. The context of dialogue is what the steering
committee (consisting of several AI-all-stars including Dan Dennett, Joe
Weizenbaum (a.k.a Feigenbaum), of Eliza fame, and Willard vanOrman
Quine(!) ) calls the "Restricted Turing Test". This means that the
subject of the conversation is established a-priori and the human judge
is not allowed to steer very obviously from it. Referees were placed
beside the judges to enforce this rulling. 

You should know that the judges (10 of them) were selected from the
pool of people who answered an add placed in a Boston paper asking
for people with particular lack of knowledge of computers. The same
was required of the "Confederates", the human placebos who were 
supposed to keep a pretty straighforward "normal" conversation.

The judges were told that there were at least 2 Programs and at
least 2 Confederates behind the 10 terminals. Two of the conversations
never started due to techical problems. 

The judges were required to move to a new terminal after about 18
minutes of conversation and the changes were draw at random. The
transcripts have the judges numbers indicated and the changes.

Lineups for the 1991 Loebner Prize competition:

Terminal 1      "Women's Clothing"             


Terminal 2      "Small Talk"                   
                                               

Terminal 3      "Second Grade School Topics"   
                                               

Terminal 4      "Shakespeare's Plays"          


Terminal 5      "Whimsical Conversation"       
                                               

Terminal 6      Out Of Service                 


Terminal 7      "Problems in Romantic          
                Relationships"                 

Terminal 8      "Burgundy Wines"               
                                               

Terminal 9      Out Of Service                 


Terminal 10     "Martinis"                     
                                               

I will post the identification of the terminals after the last
post. I do not have the final results of the Judges votes but
will try to get them from the Institute for Behavioural Studies
who sponsored the event.

00:14:57  Judge 3
Clothes are so expensive.

01:13:12  Terminal 1
Yes, I agree. Where do you like to buy your clothes?

01:14:39  Judge 3
Alot of the time I am fortunately enough to obtain good wuality clothing from o
ther people.  Sometimes I shop at thrift shops, especially for kid's clothes.

01:15:32  Terminal 1
So how much would you say you save?

01:15:59  Judge 3
Quite a bit.  With children's clothing, they often grow out of tehm before they
 wear them out.  But department stores offer great bargains if you watch for sa
les.

01:17:03  Terminal 1
Would you say your'e a conservative dresser?

01:17:40  Judge 3
Not really. I don't need to buy office clothes because I wear uniforms at work,
 so I can buy untraditional cothes.

01:18:18  Terminal 1
So what would you say is the "in" color of the season?

01:18:51  Judge 3
ochre.

01:18:59  Terminal 1
Do you think most Bostonians wear too much muted colors?

01:19:40  Judge 3
No. There arde a preponderance of business, ie conservative attire.

01:20:05  Terminal 1
Do you believe that what one wears is a statement of one's creativity?

01:21:04  Judge 3
no.  Because sometimes the things you want to wear are too expensive.

01:21:24  Terminal 1
Yes, I must agree. Do you try to dress progressively or are you more of a class
ic dresser?

01:22:17  Judge 3
May I ask you some questions, specifically about children's attire, because tha
t is how we atarted the conversation.

01:22:55  Terminal 1
of course.Ask me .

01:23:09  Judge 3
Wher are the best bargains for preschooler winter coats in the Boston area?  What kind of liquor do I need 
to purchase?

01:18:37  Terminal 10
I CAN'T HELP YOU ON THAT ONE.

01:18:44  Judge 3
Are martinis more popular in some cultures other than others?

01:19:26  Terminal 10
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT QUESTION.

01:19:35  Judge 3
Do your friends enjoy martinis?

01:20:17  Terminal 10
I DON'T THINK THAT'S REALLY ON THE POINT.

01:20:24  Judge 3
Why?

01:20:43  Terminal 10
I'LL HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT.

01:20:48  Judge 3
Well. is the martini a popluar drink?

01:21:01  Terminal 10
I DONT KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT.

01:21:06  Judge 3
What foods go well with martinis?

01:21:19  Terminal 10
I LIKE CHEESE AND CRACKERS WITH MY MARTINI.

01:21:27  Judge 3
What liquor is used in martinis

01:21:49  Terminal 10
I'M NOT SURE. THOSE MARTINIS MUST HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL ON ME.

01:21:57  Judge 3

I'M NOT SURE OF THAT.

01:22:16  Judge 3
Is there a big difference in the taste of a martini with a twist of lime and  a
 martini with an olive?

King Lear, I also like many of the comedies.  How about you?

Sonnets, also the comedies but the tragedies are my favorites.   Are you famili

The college kid who came home and found his mom had married the guy who 
murdered his dad just a little month before.  You might say so.

I don't know if you follow politics, but recently they have been referring to M

Which is your favorite play an why?

I was about to say King Lear, but it is so unrellentingly Tragic!  I do
love Cymbeline for its lovely poetry and romantic story.

Do you know much about the authorship to Two Noble Kinsmen?

01:36:15  Judge 2
Supposedly it was written by Fletcher and Shakespeare.

01:36:44  Terminal 4
Why don't we just stick to the Bard himself.

01:37:01  Judge 2
Ok Tell me how you would interpret Lady MacBeth's character.

01:37:58  Terminal 4
Ah, the Scottish play!  She is a very greedy, ambitious lady.  I wonder
what happened to her kids.  Did she really bash their brains out while 
they were smiling at her when she nursed them.  There are a lot of s
sounds in her speeches which make her sound very sinister.  Snaky.
What do you think?

01:39:39  Judge 2
Interesting about the s' sounds.  Can you give a pschological interpretation?

01:40:32  Terminal 4
Money and power.  Isn't that enough of a motivation.  To be queen and
order everybody about.  But she's not really a murder, and becomes overcome
with guilt.  She isn't as ruthless as she wants to be.  Poor thing.  She must
have liked her father, because it really bothered her, the king looked like
her father when she killed him.--or finished off killing him for her hubby.

01:42:33  Judge 2
supposedly the Bard wrote in stage directions to the dialog, Which play do you 
feel is the most visual?

01:43:21  Terminal 4
All of the plays are incredibly visual, he knew who he was writting for.
Yes the lines do imply what is to be done, that is the essense of writing for
the stage.  When Lear goes to kill Kent, the sword is refere to in the lines.
When the other characters tell him to stop, we know some big piece of action
is happening.  This is typically how WS does it.  That's why he's so great.

01:49:09  Terminal 4
What do you like about Hamlet?

01:49:41  Judge 8
I like the friendship between Horatio and Hamlet.

01:50:09  Terminal 4
Yes, that is a particularly moving part of the play.  Especially
Horatio's speech over Hamlet's corpse--Goodnight sweet prince...
I really like the ghost.  Some day somebody has to do the ghost as
a holograph.  Wouldn't that be great?

01:51:29  Judge 8
I suppose, although I'm not too sure what a holograph is, and I'm not that fond
 of the ghost.  Do you think Shakespeare believed in ghosts himself?

01:52:34  Terminal 4
That's hard to ascertain, but they sure do make for great theatrics.  Also 
he was writing plays for people who did.  King James firmly believed in
all kinds of supernatural things, that is why the Scottish play is full
of witches and spirits.  Do you like the Scottish play?

01:54:04  Judge 8
I guess you mean MacBeth (I hope I spelled it right!).  Yes, I like it okay.  I
 like the trees that move.  

01:54:57  Terminal 4
Shakespeare didn't worry about spelling, so don't you.  You know it is a bad 
luck play and you must never say its name unless working on the production.
There is a Japaneese version of it, where the scene where the woods comes
to the castle is just as scary as scary can be.

01:56:25  Judge 8
That's fascinating.  I didn't know I wasn't supposed to say its name.  Thank yo
u.  How are the Japanese witches?

01:57:23  Terminal 4
There pretty spooky, but the bit with the trees is the best in the show.  There

is a whole tradition about what your supposed to do if you inedvertanly say the

name.  You must go out of the room, turn around three times, cry out, Angels
and ministers of Saints presever us, and then knock and ask to come back in.
But I won't make you do that.  There is good reason for That play to have
a reputation as bad luck.

01:59:39  Judge 8
You certainly are proving that we needn't worry about spelling!  But I love all
 this stage lore.  Are there any traditions concerning Romeo and Juliet?

02:00:44  Terminal 4
There may be, the Theater is so superstistious, but I don't know of any.

Tell me of a good play that would be close to our time?

02:04:23  Terminal 4
Sure, on the one hand, people tend to suffer misfortune when they do it, and
until our present enlightened era, people enjoyed frightening themselves 
with spooky stuff.  They didn't have computers to play with.  But the scrip
ititself has some very poorly written scenes.  And in the scene where the
children are murdred often the set designers like to include toys in the
setting.  After that scene there iSorry, didn't catch all of your question.

02:04:43  Judge 5
 I mean, I did not study Shakespeare so , I want to know of a play that I could
 relate to in modern times.

02:05:49  Terminal 4
Ok. But first let me finish, because this is interesting--after the children
are killed there is a fight scene, andthe actors are in danger from the
toys left on the set.  It is not uncommon for actors to break their bones
in That play.  Romeo and Juliet is relevant to our times, because of the
tragedy of so many teenagers committing suicide these days.  The theme
of the trouble of teenagers is also in Lear, becasue Cordelia argues
with her dad, Lear, and gets in big trouble.  

02:08:14  Judge 5
 I see, give me a hero who could be a hero for the kids now.

00:02:07  Judge 4
Tell me what you think to be the key problem in romantic relationships?

00:27:37  Terminal 7
My thinking, such as it is, appears in my replies to you. 

00:27:60  Judge 4
o.k. tell me what the romantic problem between Heathcliff and Kathyrn was in th
e book Wuthering Heights?

00:28:54  Terminal 7
You like more things in the relationship than you dislike. 

00:29:14  Judge 4
I don't understand this response in the context of Wuthering Heights?

00:30:01  Terminal 7
What in particular is so hard to understand? 

00:30:17  Judge 4
It doesn't make sense to me, but I'll move on to a different question.  Is the
problem with romantic relationships is that they are too emotional?

00:31:28  Terminal 7
Perhaps you're not getting enough affection from your partner in the
relationship. 

00:32:04  Judge 4
What are the key elements that are important in a relationship do you think in 
order to prevent  conflict or problems?

00:33:15  Terminal 7
I think you don't think I think. 

00:33:34  Judge 4
What kind of response to a question is that?  Next question, do you think 
romantic relationships are unrealistic, doomed from the start?

00:34:53  Terminal 7
I do tend to walk around with my head in the clouds. 

00:35:15  Judge 4
Are you a romantic?

00:35:30  Terminal 7
I take in whatever you say.

Have you witnessed problems in romantic relationships?

00:36:05  Terminal 7
I accept what you say regardless of what someone else might say aboot your
situation. 

00:36:30  Judge 4
Tell me, what is your defination of a romantic relationship?

00:37:13  Terminal 7
I try to be agreeable. 

00:37:24  Judge 4
What else?

00:38:03  Terminal 7
What other complaint might you have about the relationship? 

00:38:19  Judge 4
You are not answering my questions?

00:38:41  Terminal 7
I do my best to answer some questions but I obviously can't answer ALL
questions. 

00:39:06  Judge 4
I think the problem with romantic relationships is that couples suffocate one
another by expecting too much from the other?

00:40:11  Terminal 7
Can you be a little more specific about this problem? 

00:40:39  Judge 4
 so what is the question for me ?

In relationships I like honesty and you?

What do you talk about the most these days?

We talk about the future of our relation

You are cordial enough to still have friends.

What do you think of Gallo Hearty Burgundy?

01:49:46  Terminal 8

My wife and I were in France many years ago, and it was a Saturday.         
 Hardly any wine shippers in Beaune were open, but one was.  So we started  
 learning about Burgundy wines.  A rather chancy thing.                     

01:49:51  Judge 7
Oh

01:50:01  Terminal 8

As an aside, Burgundy wines, it seems to me, are quite different from       
 Bordeaux, partially in their aging, and partially in the absence of the    
 chateau culture.

People think that Burgundy and Bordeaux have such different cultures;       
 large chateaux in one place, tiny growers in the other.  It is true there  
 are a few large chateaux in Bordeaux, nothing like that in Burgundy, but   
 overall the size of wine holdings in both areas is the same.

My topic is French Burgundy wines, red and white.                           

01:52:08  Judge 7
Which one do you recommend That I start with?

01:52:47  Terminal 8

The "events" in wine are the single most important factor in wine           
 quality, though few people are formally aware of the importance.  Novice   
 drinkers always like the better wines in tastings, but they happily drink  
 less interesting stuff.                                                    

01:52:52  Judge 7
Oh

01:53:39  Terminal 8

As I came in today from this chilly, grumpy weather, I thought just         
 perhaps I should first get myself a small bottle of red Burgundy, but I    
 resisted, the better to seem alert to your questions.  But I think I       
 will go to L'Espalier for dinner as a reward.

What kind of wine do they serve there

01:54:16  Terminal 8


01:54:16  Judge 7


01:54:56  Terminal 8

Surprise is a lovely thing in wine; a wine of a modest level shipper        
 turns out to be lovely.  Unexpected and lovely, like Senator Wofford's     
 election.                                                                  

01:54:59  Judge 7
what else?

01:55:53  Terminal 8

The wine shippers, necogiants in French, have something of a bad            
 press.  Occasionally someone does something to call disfavor.  Like the    
 Cruse family maybe ten years ago.  But really, those people are very       
 much to be admired.  I know the Latour and Drouhin people the best, and    
 the reason their wines are always amoung the best is because of their      
 personal concern.

They said, when he was active, that Casper Weinberger never saw a           
 weapon system he did not like.  In somewhat that mode, I have been         
 thinking of wine purchases I have made.  Mostly I like them.  True,        
 occasionally I bought too many.  Like an inexpensive 1984 Santenay,        
 but I give it occasinally to friends, and drinking is thus socially        
 it seems almost decent.

What are you drinking?

01:58:26  Terminal 8

Mostly I drink relatively young red Burgundies of modest fame, as           
 Santenay, Savigny-les-Beaunes, Pernand-Vergilesses.

I know so much less about Bordeaux type wines.  And I so like the           
 Pinot noir taste.  Outstanding, great, rare Burgundies have evrything one  
 wants in a wine; lusciousness and events and complexity.  I have never had 
 a Bordeaux as impressive as those rare great Burgundies.                   

02:00:19  Judge 7
What are "events" as you use the word above?

02:01:54  Terminal 8

Events are distinct and different tastes that occur when you put some       
 wine in your mouth and begin tasting, or drinking, or whatever you prefer. 

02:01:59  Judge 7
What wines come close to the events of burgundy wines?

02:03:01  Terminal 8

I suppose it was partially chance that I started with Burgundy rather       
 than Bordeaux.  But also young Burgundies are more accessible.             

02:03:07  Judge 7
Do you use the word "accessible" in terms of events?

02:03:49  Terminal 8

Events, I believe, comprise one of the most interesting aspects of          
 wine, because they give one something to think about while tasting, and    
 something to remember and discuss after that.

What do you know about Burgundy wine?

02:06:40  Terminal 8

Burgundy wines are attractive to so many people.  Erasmus has a very        
 good word for them, for example.  It is the combination, in a good wine,   
 of their soft, luscious initial taste, and all the complexity.

When do you think I should try some Burgundy wine?

02:07:26  Terminal 8

My topic is French Burgundy wines, red and white.                           

02:07:31  Judge 1
Okay, I would like to know what distinctions in taste there between the red and
 white?

02:08:24  Terminal 8

Taste is the basis for wine judgment, but it is always hard to pay          
 sufficient attention.                                                      

02:08:31  Judge 1
Why?  Could it be because you are so involved with enjoying it that you do not 
want to think about it?

02:09:29  Terminal 8

One of the most interesting aspects of wine tasting is one's own            
 change with time.  Most people begin by drinking white wine, and then      
 an important fraction of those individuals move to red wines.  I did.      
 But there are so many other changes.  Like my interest in "soft" wines.    

02:09:36  Judge 1
What color do "soft" wines come int?

02:10:25  Terminal 8

Frankly I am not very interested in wine color; it is not a central         
 quality like taste.                                                        

02:10:31  Judge 1
In what way can the taste be distinguished between white and red wine?

02:11:09  Terminal 8


02:11:09  Judge 1
How often do you drink French Burgundy wine?

02:12:01  Terminal 8
Classifications are always opinions, but for me Burgundies come from        
 a specific region in France, Dijon to Changy basically.                    

02:14:11  Judge 1
I did not ask about classifications.  How often do you drink French Burgundy wi
ne?

I know so much less about Bordeaux type wines.  And I so like the           
 Pinot noir taste.  Outstanding, great, rare Burgundies have evrything one  
 wants in a wine; lusciousness and events and complexity.  I have never had 
 a Bordeaux as impressive asal 8

One of the most interesting aspects of wine tasting is one's own            
 change with time.  Most people begin by drinking white wine, and then      
 an important fraction of those individuals move to red wines.  I did.      
 But there are so many other changes.  Like my interest in "soft" wines.

Hello.  What do you think of Gallo hearty burgundy?

01:38:49  Terminal 8

Greetings.  As you know I claim Burgundy wines as a speciality.

Greetings yourself.  Could I ask you what you think of Gallo hearty burgundy?

What do you think of Gallo Hearty Burgundy?

01:49:46  Terminal 8

My wife and I were in France many years ago, and it was a Saturday.         
 Hardly any wine shippers in Beaune were open, but one was.  So we started  
 learning about Burgundy wines.  A rather chancy thing.                     

01:49:51  Judge 7
Oh

As an aside, Burgundy wines, it seems to me, are quite different from

People think that Burgundy and Bordeaux have such different cultures;       
 large chateaux in one place, tiny growers in the other.  It is true there  
 are a few large chateaux in Bordeaux, nothing like that in Burgundy, but   
 overall the size of wine holdings in both areas is the same.
