Turing’s Cathedral by George Dyson follows Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann’s efforts to build a computer based on Turing’s design and boasting a revolutionary feature: RAM.

The Turing Test was the first experimental procedure devised to try to determine whether an Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine can, in fact, “think”. The new version of the test, described ...

The quest to find the cost of running a Turing machine began with Wolpert trying to use information theory -- the quantification, storage, and communication of information -- to formalize how ...

Turing employed the work of both mathematicians to create a conceptual computing machine. His 1936 paper described what would later become known as the Turing Machine, or a-machine as he called it.

<b>What the hell is a Turing machine?</b> For the sake of simplicity, we will use a five-tuple format for our Turing machines.

On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born.
