Turing machines were first proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1936, and are a theoretical mathematical model of what it means for a system to "be a computer." At a high level, these ...

Arxiv – Google Deepmind researchers have extended the capabilities of neural networks by coupling them to external memory resources, which they can interact with by attentional processes. The combined ...

Two researchers in the Netherlands helmed the construction of a LEGO Turing machine, a quirky manifestation of the classic computer science concept first devised by Alan Turing in 1936. The device, ...

Supercomputer poses as 13-year-old boy, becomes first ever to pass Turing Test. June 9, 2014— -- Like many 13-year-old boys, Eugene Goostman claims to be a know-it-all. The one thing that ...

UPDATE: If you missed out on the game on Saturday, it’s up in the Google Doodle archive now. Google is celebrating the 100th birthday of computer-science pioneer Alan Turing with a minigame based on ...

Modern computers wouldn’t exist without the pioneering theories posited by Alan Turing, however the famed computer scientist was never quite able to make a working model of his hypothetical device.

Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...
