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 ...

Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun were rewarded with the Turing Award, an honor that has become known as technology industry's version of the Nobel Prize. Since it was devised in 1950, the ...

Typically, the brain of a computer is tiny and made out of silicon, buried deep inside a much larger gadget with control mechanisms like a keyboard or a touchscreen. But it doesn't have to be that way ...

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 ...

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 ...
