The Star Trek television series and films use the term "warp drive" to describe their method of faster-than-light travel. Neither the Alcubierre theory, nor anything similar, existed when the series was conceived—the term "warp drive" and general concept originated with John W. Campbell's 1931 science fiction novel Islands of Space. [49]
The 10-cell Warp (not iWarp) computer was benchmarked on performing a forward-backward propagation on the NETtalk. It achieved 16.5 MC/s (million connections per second), meaning that to run one forward and one backward pass over NETtalk's 18,629 weights takes 18629 16.5 × 10 6 s e c {\displaystyle {\frac {18629}{16.5\times 10^{6}}}\;\mathrm ...
In 1962, Knuth accepted a commission from Addison-Wesley to write a book on computer programming language compilers. While working on this project, he decided that he could not adequately treat the topic without first developing a fundamental theory of computer programming, which became The Art of Computer Programming. He originally planned to ...
Counterpart theory (hereafter "CT"), as formulated by Lewis, requires that individuals exist in only one world. The standard account of possible worlds assumes that a modal statement about an individual (e.g., "it is possible that x is y") means that there is a possible world, W, where the individual x has the property y; in this case there is only one individual, x, at issue.
The fact that during language acquisition, children are largely only exposed to positive evidence, [8] meaning that the only evidence for what is a correct form is provided, and no evidence for what is not correct, [9] was a limitation for the models at the time because the now available deep learning models were not available in late 1980s.
In programming language theory, semantics is the rigorous mathematical study of the meaning of programming languages. [1] Semantics assigns computational meaning to valid strings in a programming language syntax. It is closely related to, and often crosses over with, the semantics of mathematical proofs.
A major development of the Minimalist Program is Bare Phrase Structure (BPS), a theory of phrase structure (structure building operations) developed by Noam Chomsky in 1994. [13] BPS is a representation of the structure of phrases in which syntactic units are not explicitly assigned to categories. [ 14 ]
In this test, a person can ask questions via a keyboard and a monitor without knowing whether his counterpart is a human or a computer. A computer is considered intelligent if the interrogator cannot distinguish the computer from a human. This illustrates the discussion about intelligent computers at the beginning of the computer age.
