Institute of Mimetic Sciences
Robby Garner is founder of the Institute of Mimetic Sciences. Two time winner of the prestigious Loebner Prize Contest, and 2001 Guinness Book of World Records for the Most Human computer program. Robby asks the question “what is human?” and how can we imitate that? Robby is also a musician from the band Flux Oersted, producing synthetic songs from the heart. The IMS founder has mapped out a path of discovery and research for the next 10 years that places IMS in the very center of the singularity argument of 2029 and beyond. Join us and help claim artificial intelligence is merely MS!
Mimetic Synthesis
Mimetic Synthesis is a new terminology which more accurately describes a programming methodology used to mimic human behavior in a computer. Previous work in this field has been incorrectly categorized under various aspects of "Artificial Intelligence." You’d be mistaken to think you’ve seen our best!
The Institute of Mimetic Sciences, Inc. is a non-profit Georgia Corporation dedicated to the imitation of human behavior in machines. Our members are multidisciplinary artists, scientists, engineers, and theorists. We believe that machine intelligence can be built one aspect at a time, rather than wait for some general theory or “singularity” to occur.
JFRED Chat Server
The open source project JFRED/EARL is an ongoing conversation simulator project, first developed by Robby Garner and Paco Nathan. The original Java package was able to carry our a scripted conversation based on JFRED Ruleset Language script programming. Later revisions have added functionality to the scripting language, now called Expect And Respond Language (EARL). Future versions will incorporate an upwrite feature that will automatically learn functionality of any human language. See JFRED/EARL at Robitron.com
The Turing Hub is a 24/7 online Turing test simulator. Chat with a variety of chat simulators and human participants and try to tell which is which. The Turing Hub originally started as a proving ground for challengers in the Loebner Prize Contest, but has evolved into an experiment all it’s own.
