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.

To answer that point Turing devised a test in which machines conducted conversations with human judges. If the machine's written responses fooled the judges into believing it was a person, it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

IN 1935, Alan Turing set out to build a reputation by outflanking the world’s leading mathematician. Turing was 22 years old, and a new fellow at Cambridge. His target, David Hilbert, was the ...

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.
