Alan Turing was not a well known figure during his lifetime. But today he is famous for being an eccentric yet passionate British mathematician, who conceived modern computing and played a crucial ...

Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, has been commemorated in a special interactive Google doodle that simulates the theoretical Turing machine that Turing proposed in a mathematical paper.

Computer scientist wins Turing Award for seminal work on randomness Avi Wigderson helped prove that randomness is not required for efficient computation.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an international academic society in the field of computer science, has decided to award the 2023 Turing Award to Vigderson of Princeton Laboratory ...

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.

NTU’s new cutting-edge Turing AI Scholars Programme (TAISP) aims to cultivate the talents of exceptionally gifted students who are eager to push the boundaries of AI research and create groundbreaking ...

Alan Turing, the Second World War code-breaker and pioneer of computer science with a “fearless approach to daunting problems”, will appear on the Bank of England’s next £50 note.

The 2023 Turing Award has been given to Avi Widgerson. The mathematician found that adding randomness into algorithms made them better at solving nondeterministic problems.

But their research has directly sought to answer Turing's 1947 call for a machine that “can learn from experience” — which Sutton describes as “arguably the essential idea of reinforcement ...
