Alan Turing, the 'Father of modern computing,' born on June 23, 1912, revolutionized technology with his Turing machine concept. His codebreaking during World War II significantly shortened the war.

Where linear models describe the fitted relationship between the target and input variables via the slope of that relationship (coefficient estimates), the same fitted relationship can be described ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.

The search for a halting five-state Turing machine that performs more than 47,176,870 computational steps remained unsuccessful for several decades.

In computer science and blockchain technology, the term “Turing completeness” describes a system’s ability to carry out any computation that a Turing machine is capable of. A Turing machine ...

How this Turing Award–winning researcher became a legendary academic advisor Theoretical computer scientist Manuel Blum has guided generations of graduate students into fruitful careers in the ...

There was a time in the not too distant past—say, nine months ago—when the Turing test seemed like a pretty stringent detector of machine intelligence. Chances are you’re familiar with how ...

When he invented Turing machines in 1936, Alan Turing also invented modern computing. In 1928, the German mathematicians David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann proposed a question called the ...
