Mitsuku - Loebner Prize 2018

The Loebner Prize 2018 was held on September 8th at Bletchley Park and Mitsuku won the contest for a 4th time to equal the record number of wins. The only thing I know about the judges is that judge 2 was Julian Harris from CognitionX.

The 4th round log is small due to technical issues ending the contest 15 minutes early.

Round 1
