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 ...

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 ...

Alan Turing was one of the most influential British figures of the 20th century. In 1936, Turing invented the computer as ...

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 ...

In 1939, after the outbreak of World War II, the Allied forces facing Germany had a problem. While it was easy to intercept German wireless communications, their content was difficult to decipher as ...

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 ...

Maybe this isn't an AI thread after all. Maybe this should be a discussion of the limits of Turing Machines. After all, we know that Turing Machines can't do these, we've worked through the logical ...

When he invented Turing machines in 1936, Alan Turing also invented modern computing. In 1928, the German mathematicians David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann proposed a question called the ...
