The turing ratio: metrics for open-ended tasks
Hassan Masum, Steffen Christensen, Franz Oppacher · 2002
The Turing Test is of limited use for programs falling far short of human performance levels. We suggest an extension of Turing's idea to a more differentiated measure - the "Turing Ratio" - which provides a framework for comparing both human and algorithmic task performance. Games provide an example of the concepts. It is argued that evolutionary computation is a key method for amplifying human intelligence, an assertion which future scientists can empirically decide through measuring Turing Ratios and considering task breadth, prior knowledge, and time series of the measures.
