This course gives an introduction to the mathematical foundations of computation. The course will look at Turing machines, universal computation, the Church-Turing thesis, the halting problem and ...

While the invention of calculus by Newton and Leibniz in the 17th century set the stage for the so-called industrial revolution and unleashed unparalleled analytical power to fast-track human ...

There’s something about geeky DIY projects that strike a nerve with the Internet. Case in point, the homebrew Turing Machine built by Mike Davey. He had no ulterior motive than to make something ...

As a practising computer scientist, I thought I had a fairly good grasp of Alan Turing’s many contributions to the field. But The Turing Guide, by Jack Copeland, Jonathan Bowen, Mark Sprevak and Robin ...

Such is Turing's legacy: that of a nested chain of pretenses, each pointing not to reality, but to the caricature of another idea, device, individual, or concept. It's hard to overestimate Alan Turing ...

Arguably, and it would be a tough argument to win if you took the other side, computers have had a greater impact on civilization than any other machine since the wheel. Sure, there was the steam ...

Arxiv – Google Deepmind researchers have extended the capabilities of neural networks by coupling them to external memory resources, which they can interact with by attentional processes. The combined ...
