The Turing Machine is a three-fold inspiration composed of logical instructions, the action of the mind, and a machine which can in principle be embodied in a practical physical form. It is the application of an algorithm embodied in a finite state machine. .
The Turing Machine is a simple kind of computer. It is limited to reading and writing symbols on a tape and moving the tape along to the left or right. The tape is marked off into squares, each square representing a cell. Each cell on the tape can hold at most one symbol. At any point when the Turing Machine is operating it can read or write on one of these cells, the cell located under the read/write head. One aspect that set the Turning Machine apart from other computational machines of the same period was that the Turing Machine was designed to perform many functions. It could do any function that was fed to it on this tape that acted as an algorithm, whereas, other computational machines at that time were designed to perform only one task. The concept of the Turing Machine was then similar to the digital computers used today.
Soon WWII began in Europe. During WWII, Turing was called by the Department of Communications in Great Britain. He was asked to help decipher the German codes that they were using to scramble their communications. The Germans had developed a sophisticated computer call the Enigma. It was able to generate a constantly changing code that was impossible for the code breakers to decipher in a timely fashion. Turing aided in the development of another computer used by Great Britain called Collossus that was able to decipher the communications coded by Enigma thus aided in the defeat of the Germans in WWII.
After the war, Turing carried out many tasks. He became a very successful distance runner, at one point considering the Olympics. He Furthered his development of a true digital computer by creating the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) while working for the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).
Alan M. Turing In the short time Alan M. ... For this I consider Alan M. ... Alan Turing was born June 23,1912 to Julius Mathison and Ethel Sara Turing in London, England. ... Alan Turing had accomplished more in his time on earth for the field of computer science....
Introduction Topic Chosen: [5] The Turing Test and Searle's Chines Room Argument In order to simplify the terminology used in this discussion, I will refer to the Turing Test and Chinese Room Argument individually as "investigations". ... The Turing test, Turing's attempt to capture the notion of artificial intelligence. ... Alan Turing, born in England in 1912 (died 1954), was a mathematician and computer scientist (before that discipline was even recognised), and is considered to be one of the fathers of modern digital computing. ... I think this is indicati...
The term Artificial intelligence was first coined in 1950, in London England by Alan Turing. A landmark paper by Alan Turing argued for the possibility of building intelligent computing systems. The paper purposed what is referred to now as the "Turing Test". ... In the Turing Test, a judge used a Teletype to communicate with two players in other rooms: a person and a computer. ... The goal of A.I. is to pass the Turing test, but not imitate human behavior. ...
Alan Turing devised a test to let people begin to consider the fact that computers have a mind of their own. This would later be called the Turing test. ... In this sort of sense a machine undoubtedly can be its own subject matter" (Turing, p.20). ... Turing is trying to explain that the computers subject matter may be geared towards solutions and equations instead of the subject matter of people. ... Turing shows, out of a memoir by Lady Lovelace, that, "The Analytical Engine has no pretensions to originate anything. ...
Early in the 20th century, a man named Alan Turing became widely considered as the father of modern computer science. ... One of those papers is the "Turing Test." ... "When he died, Turing left the world a permanent legacy. Computers have revolutionized so many aspects of our world that today it is hard to imagine life without them" (Alan Turing n.p.). ... Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman designed these early computers. ...
The two main people held creditable for breaking Enigma were a famous British mathematician, Alan Turing, and a Polish mathematician named Marian Rejewski. ... This is when all of the effort accomplished by the Polish, led by Rejewski, fell onto the lap of Alan Turing. ... The Turing Bombe was far more advanced then the Polish Bomby. The Turing Bombe was faster in processing and figured the coding in a more efficient way. ... The new Turing Bombe went after a specific message with a "probable word approach2." ...
To support his statement he uses the Turing's Test, which was proposed by Alan Turing. Turing was a brilliant man disturbed by "fruitless disputes" concerning word meanings. Turing's test was based on a game called the "imitation game," played by three mutual strangers. ... Turing's main goal, however, was to substitute one variable (the male) with a computer. According to Turing, this would show if the computer could be intelligent to our definitions of intelligence. ...
On 23 June 1912, Alan Turing was born and was destined to make his mark on the history of computing. ... Alan was born to a distinguished family and was educated at Sherbourne School. ... First Turing defined what it was to be a machine. ... Without going into details the general description of Turing's machine is as follows. ... Turing was awarded a Ph.D by Princeton University for this. ...
Krol writes that people's belief that machines could be as intelligent as humans became stronger after Alan Turing, a British mathematician, wrote the first computer program for chess in 1947, and declared that machines would compete with humans in all purely intellectual fields including chess (36). ... Turing's declaration has encouraged innovators to compare human qualities with machines and try to create machines that mimic humans. ... According to the article, "Artificial Intelligence" written by Vincent Kiernan, the famous test to check machine's intelligence wa...
