Alan Turing theorized a machine that could do infinite calculations from an infinite amount of data that computes based on a set of rules. It starts with an input, transforms the data and outputs an ...

On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...

Vol. 95, No. 1/2, The Contributions of Logic to the Foundations of Physics (June/July 2010), pp. 279-300 (22 pages) Earlier, we have studied computations possible by physical systems and by algorithms ...

Alan Turing was an English mathematician, wartime code-breaker and pioneer of computer science. Photo: Alan Turing with two colleagues and a Ferranti computer in January 1951. Turing had previously ...

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 ...

Mike Davey wanted to build a real Turing machine, but unfortunately he could not find the infinitely long tape required for the project. His solution? Using 1000 feet of white 35mm film leader and a ...
