Abstract page for arXiv paper 1410.5401: Neural Turing Machines

Traditionally, when we teach Theory of Computation, we start with finite automata, we show that they are not sufficient, then we switch to pushdown automata (i.e., automata-with-…

A new book claims AI has been built on a flawed assumption dating back to Alan Turing's famous 1950 paper. Peter J. Denning argues that the most important parts of human intellig…

Science News: Two people can watch the exact same machine respond to a question and reach completely different conclusions about what just happened. One assumes any.

Stephen Wolfram explores multiway Turing machines, finding some significant surprises. A look at ordinary vs. multiway, simple rules, visualization and multispace, causal graphs,…

Writing from year after gross indecency arrest challenges 'isolated mathematician' image, says Cambridge academic

Popular Mechanics has an interesting article about Alan Turing's nearly-forgotten speech encryption device.Codenamed Delilah, it was in many ways an early form of digital encrypt…

Recurrent neural networks were proven to be Turing universal in the 1990s, motivating computational complexity studies of spiking networks, neural Turing machines with differenti…

Hallucinations of language models are not an engineering problem: they stem from mathematical limits proven since the 1930s.

Simple annotation work is no longer enough for advanced AI, says Turing's CEO, who says models need complex, real-world data.

In November 2023, a large cache of Turing's wartime papers-nicknamed the

Transformers are behind large language models and AI chatbots. Are they truly Turing-complete, i.e. able to run any computable function?
