  <title><![CDATA[Magerko’s AdamLab Team Receives First Place at 2017 Turing Tests in Creative Arts]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Brian Magerko, an associate professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication and his&nbsp;AdamLab team have been awarded the first place in the DanceX Competition of the 2017 Turing Tests in the Creative Arts.</p>

<p>The awards were announced by the Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College on Tuesday, June 20th, during&nbsp;the Music Metacreation Workshop (MuMe), part of the International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC), in Atlanta.</p>

<p>The contest pits poetry, literature, music, and dance created by machines against works created by humans. In&nbsp;its second year, the&nbsp;Awards were estabished to recognize artificial intelligence creations that are indistinguishable from human work.</p>

<p>Winners:</p>

<p>Duri Long (Ph.D. student)</p>

<p>Mikhail Jacob (Ph.D. student)</p>

<p>Dor Hananel (undergraduate researcher)</p>

<p>Dr. Brian Magerko (advisor)</p>

<p><a href="http://adamlab.gatech.edu/projects/luminai/">The project</a></p>

<p><em>LuminAI</em>&nbsp;is a dome-based art installation in which participants can engage in collaborative movement improvisation with each other and artificially intelligent virtual dance partners. This&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~gxia/data/TuringTest/DanceX/data/dance.m4v">video</a>&nbsp;shows both human motion capture and computer-generated dance partner.</p>

<p>Magerko&rsquo;s AdamLab is part of the Graduate Program in Digital Media at Georgia Tech Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts.</p>

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
