Sentences for the 50,000 offenders vary from community work release and probation to lifelong incarceration. Tennessee was one of 38 states required by court order to improve prison conditions and reduce overcrowding; it is the target of over 300 inmate lawsuits each year. The new $14 million system is the largest and most comprehensive computer system ever developed in the field of corrections. Sentences C and D are consecutive to sentence B, and sentence B is consecutive to sentence A. C, and D of an offender, as shown in figure 1, it must be determined which sentence is not consecutive to any others. In this case, A is the sentence that must first be calculated because its dates do not depend on a previous sentence.

Alan Turing's decades-old question still influences artificial intelligence because of the simple test he proposed in his article in Mind. In this article, AI Magazine collects presentations about the first round of the classic Turing Test of machine intelligence, held November 8, 1991 at The Computer Museum, Boston. Robert Epstein, Director Emeritus, Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, and an adjunct professor of psychology, Boston University, University of Massachusetts (Amherst), and University of California (San Diego) summarizes some of the difficult issues during the planning of this first real-time competition, and describes the event. Presented in tandem with Dr. Epstein's article is the actual transcript of session that won the Loebner Prize Competition--Joseph Weintraub's computer program PC Therapist. In 1985 an old friend, Hugh Loebner, told me excitedly that the Turing Test should be made into an annual contest.

Human readers comprehend vastly more, and in vastly different ways, than any existing comprehension test would suggest. An ideal comprehension test for a story should cover the full range of questions and answers that humans would expect other humans to reasonably learn or infer from a given story. ICCG uses structured crowdsourcing to comprehensively generate relevant questions and supported answers for arbitrary stories, whether fiction or nonfiction, presented across a variety of media such as videos, podcasts, and still images. While the AI scientific community had hoped that by 2015 machines would be able to read and comprehend language, current models are typically superficial, capable of understanding sentences in limited domains (such as extracting movie times and restaurant locations from text) but without the sort of widecoverage comprehension that we expect of any teenager. Comprehension itself extends beyond the written word; most adults and children can comprehend a variety of narratives, both fiction and nonfiction, presented in a wide variety of formats, such as movies, television and radio programs, written stories, YouTube videos, still images, and cartoons.

The first Robotics Exhibition and Competition sponsored by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence was held in San Jose, California, on 14-16 July 1992 in conjunction with the Tenth National Conference on AI. This article describes the history behind the competition, the preparations leading to the competition, the threedays during which 12 teams competed in the three events making up the competition, and the prospects for other such competitions in the future. Advanced sensors and efficient actuators and power systems are now available for a wide range of applications. Related technology in vision, planning, and learning has also matured, and the time is ripe for a marriage of these technologies. Further, the growing economic incentives for robotic systems point the way to challenging research.
