Some numbers are so unimaginably large that they defy the bounds of modern mathematics, and now mathematicians are closing in ...

Turing saw machines not as tools, but as a new kind of thinker—one that challenged the limits of human intelligence. University of Manchester Mark I, December 1948.

Unlike the machine Alan Turing hypothesized, [Richard J. Ridel] decided on building a machine that accommodated three data elements (0, 1, and “b” for blank) and three states.

The concept, known as the Turing machine, is the basis for the modern theory of computation. Despite helping the Allies win WWII, Turing was arrested for being gay in January 1952.

November 8, 1991 The first Turing Test (a.k.a Loebner Prize Competition) is held at the Boston Computer Museum. Joseph Weintraub, president of Thinking Software, Inc., wins the competition by ...

As an example of this, consider a standard computer. Opening the calculator application on your desktop produces a simulation of the earlier Turing machine I described.

A working Turing Machine was submitted to Lego Ideas, consisting of approximately 2,900 parts and a bucketload of extreme cleverness.… The original machine was devised by mathematician Alan ...

Turing showed that a function is computable if there exists an algorithm that can execute the desired task. At the same time, he showed that an algorithm is a process that can be defined by a Turing ...

In classical computation, rational- and real-weighted recurrent neural networks were shown to be respectively equivalent to and strictly more powerful than the standard Turing machine model. Here, we ...

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.
