Turing’s model—which is now known as Turing machine—is a central concept in theoretical computer science. Turing is widely recognized as one of the most important figures in the …

In 1952 Turing was convicted by a British court for his involvement in "unnatural acts" and was required to take female hormones in an effort to rid him of his preferences.

In 1936 Turing de-veloped (what is now called) the Tur-ing machine as an attempt to precisely define the notion of a computable func-tion and to prove the undecidability of the decision …

It is played with three people, a man (A), a woman (B), and an interrogator (C) who may be of either sex. The interrogator stays in a room apart front the other two. The object of the game …

Turing machines are viewed as the legitimate mathematical model of programs. A thesis is not a mathematical result, it is more like a philosophical hypothesis. We can also prove that …

For this work, Turing was based at the now famous center at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, which recruited increasingly large sectors of the British intelligentsia. Amongst these, Alan …

Abstract. Turing’s test has been much misunderstood. Recently unpublished material by Turing casts fresh light on his thinking and dispels a number of philosophical myths concerning the …
