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 ...

The father of computer science himself: Alan Turing. Today we’re going to take a step back from programming and discuss the person who formulated many of the theoretical concepts that underlie modern ...

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 ...

Alan Turing put bounds on what is computable in a famous 1936 paper 1. The Turing machines he presented implement finite algorithms, handling data coded as real numbers. They are deterministic, but ...

With regard to my previous blog on a One-bit processor and a mega-cool Turing machine, I’ve been bouncing around the Internet discovering all sorts of cool things… But before we hurl ourselves ...

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 ...

Charles Darwin and Alan Turing, in their different ways, both homed in on the same idea: the existence of competence without comprehension. Some of the greatest, most revolutionary advances in science ...

One hundred and fifty years of mathematics will be proved wrong if a new computer program stops running. Thankfully, it’s unlikely to happen, but the code behind it is testing the limits of the ...

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 ...
