BANGALORE (PTI): In a development of significant relevance to computer science, researchers in this capital city of Kamataka have devised what could be the world’s first technique to objectively evaluate the multiple aspects of intelligence.
Despite the decades-old method of measuring Intelligence Quotient (IQ) the lack of an adequate mathematical definition of intelligence has been a major hurdle for scientists trying to build intelligence into computers.
“A single measure like the 1Q just cannot evaluate intelligence in all its completeness,” said Dr. V, Rajaram, a leading computer Scientist, formerly with the supercomputer education and research center.
Regarding intelligence as a multifunctional quality, Rarajam and his colleague a Srivastava have introduced three new parameters to measure intelligence. These are called the knowledge factor, the analytical factor and the rank factor. The knowledge factor measures the knowledge base of an intelligent system. The analytical factor measures the ability to use this knowledge and the rank measures the accuracies in responses of the system.
The technique devised by the Bangalore: first step towards quantifying intelligent net whether human or artificial. This is a Premont of gent computers.
A series of tests on humans have successfully validated the usefulness of the three new parameters in evaluating intelligence, Scientists said.
