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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

One difference between rule driven Turing-complete machines and empirically observed biological systems could be that the adaptive agents in biological systems have certain "unity of consciousness ...

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.

This week's milestones in the history of technology include Alan Turing anticipating today’s deep learning by intelligent machines and concerns about the of AI on jobs, Clifford Stoll ...
