Abstract

I propose to consider the question, “Can machines think?”♣ This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms “machine” and “think”. The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous. If the meaning of the words “machine” and “think” are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, “Can machines think?” is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll.

Prerequisites

Explain the prerequisites for the installation here, such as the OS, or whether the program requires a GPU. This is not a place to add python (or language) requirements, please see the install guide below. An example is below:

• Ubuntu Linux > 16.04
• Anaconda python > 3.0.5

Install guide

Make sure that your environment is reproducible. You can use a conda environment to specify the python version and the pip requirements.

conda install environment.yml

Experiments

It can be useful to pack experiments into python modules. Add the code required to run a specific experiment - an example is shown below.

python experiments/the-imitation-game.py
