[comp.ai] Wanted info on Chinese Room

vendelma@dlt1.uucp (Ronald Vendelmans) (05/01/89)

Recently there was a discussion on the net about Searle's Chinese Room.
As I did not follow it from the beginning, and only read many 
replies, I'm not sure whether the discussion started as a reaction
on some article in a magazine, for example. 

The large number of net-reactions makes me think that there is still
enough world-wide interest in this problem, and that it is certainly
not out of date. Since my working area is that of Machine Translation, 
the Chinese Room problem is interesting for me and my colleagues, too,
but we have not yet succeeded in finding enough recently written material
about it. So my question is: can anyone give me references to 
written material about the Chinese Room problem (other than Searle's
article itself)? Any information is welcome.

Many thanks in advance!

Ronald
