English Heritage plaque in Maida Vale, London marking Turing's birthplace in 1912. Turing was born in Maida Vale, London, while his father, Julius Mathison Turing, was on leave from his position with the Indian Civil Service (ICS) of the British Raj government at Chatrapur, then in the Madras Presidency and presently in Odisha state, in India.
The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1949, [2] is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to that of a human. In the test, a human evaluator judges a text transcript of a natural-language conversation between a human and a machine. The evaluator tries to identify the machine ...
In 2012, in honour of the Turing Centennial, American Lyric Theater commissioned an operatic exploration of the life and death of Turing from composer Justine F. Chen and librettist David Simpatico. [81] Titled The Life and Death(s) of Alan Turing, the opera is a historical fantasia on the life
A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation describing an abstract machine [1] that manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules. [2]
Three examples of Turing patterns Six stable states from Turing equations, the last one forms Turing patterns. The Turing pattern is a concept introduced by English mathematician Alan Turing in a 1952 paper titled "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis" which describes how patterns in nature, such as stripes and spots, can arise naturally and autonomously from a homogeneous, uniform state.
The ACM A. M. Turing Award is an annual prize given by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to computer science. [2] It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in the field of computer science and is often referred to as the " Nobel Prize of Computing ".
The success of the Church–Turing thesis prompted variations of the thesis to be proposed. For example, the physical Church–Turing thesis states: "All physically computable functions are Turing-computable." [54]: 101 The Church–Turing thesis says nothing about the efficiency with which one model of computation can simulate another.
"Computing Machinery and Intelligence" is a seminal paper written by Alan Turing on the topic of artificial intelligence.The paper, published in 1950 in Mind, was the first to introduce his concept of what is now known as the Turing test to the general public.
