His father Julius was employed in the Indian Civil Service. His father's brother, H. D. Turing, was, at the time, a well known expert on fly fishing. Alan spends his first thirteen years in India suffering through a series of intellectually discouraging English foster homes. Upon returning to England in 1926, he is entered into the Sherborne School. Meets Christopher Morcom in 1928, who was to become one of the key figures in his life. Turing is extremely attracted to Morcom. They form an intellectual companionship, which is highly stimulating to Turing. Morcom dies suddenly in 1930, devastating Turing. Turing then becomes obsessed with the problem of how the human mind is embodied in matter; of how the mind might be preserved after the death. Towards this end, he begins to study quantum mechanics. In 1931, Turing enters King's College in

Alan Turing British mathematician who invented a conceptual machine with his name (Turing machine), which is quite useful for characterizing the essence of computation. Computability by means of a Turing machine can be clearly defined, and it can replace our informal and intuitive notion of computation (Church-Turing Thesis); but as it turns out, it has a definite limitation. "Can there be a Turing machine which can decide, for any pair of a Turing machine and its input tape, whether it will stop after a finite amount of time?" (Halting Problem) Turing proved that there cannot be any such machine (thus the halting problem is one of the "undecidable problems"). This has a close relationship with Goedel's Incompleteness Theorem. Turing worked, during the war, for manufacturing an actual computing machine: the Colossus for deciphering the German cryptography produced by the machine "Enigma". And after the war, Turing published an influential paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" ( Mind , 1950) in which he proposed the "Turing Test" for judging whether or not something is "intelligent". This paper soon became a "classic" both in the field of artificial intelligence and philosophy of mind.

A gifted mathematician, Turing is remembered today as one of the founders of computer science. The gay and lesbian community remembers Turing not only for his work on computers and the cracking of the Enigma machine code during World War II, but also because of his needless, horrific death. He committed suicide at the age of 41, two years after his arrest, conviction, and forced chemical castration for a homosexual encounter. Though he died at an early age, a victim of British homophobia , he had already created whole new ways of thinking about computers, biology, minds, and humanity. Sponsor Message.

If the computer can convince the interrogator that it is a woman at the same rate as the real woman did, then the computer can be said to think. Researchers have argued about the importance of gender to Turing's thought experiment, and the relationship of his homosexuality to how he framed the question. What is striking, though, is that Turing replaced the metaphysical question of "Can machines think?" with a practical problem of whether or not a human might distinguish a computer from another human in a conversation. Disaster After pioneering in further work in computer and software design and in artificial intelligence, and after being honored for his war work with an OBE (Officer of the British Empire) in 1946 and elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1951 at an unusually young age, in 1952 Turing's life took an abrupt turn for the worse.

Turing, Alan (b. 1912, London, UK, d. 1953, Wilmslow, Cheshire, UK. Ph.D. mathematics, Princeton, 1938). Turing was a major influence on the development of computational theory. The term Turing machine was introduced by Alonzo Church in his 1937 review of Turing's paper in the Journal of Symbolic Logic. Turing proposed the test of thinking in machines that bears his name in a 1950 article in the journal Mind (59, 433-60).

This concept, now called the Turing machine , foreshadowed the digital computer. Turing is believed to have been the first to suggest (in 1950) the possibility of machine learning and artificial intelligence. His test for distinguishing between real (human) and simulated (computer) thought is known as the Turing test : with a person in one room and the machine in another, an interrogator in a third room asks questions of both to try to identify them. When the interrogator cannot distinguish between them by questioning, the machine will have reached a state of humanlike intelligence. Turing was born in London and studied at Cambridge. During World War II he worked on the Ultra project in the team that cracked the German Enigma cipher code. After the war he worked briefly on the project to design the general computer known as the Automatic Computing Engine, or ACE, and was involved in the pioneering computer developed at Manchester University from 1948.

A mathematical genius, Turing was fascinated by computers and wrote reports on their capabilities as early as 1936. In World War II, Turing worked at the Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, fifty miles north of London. Three in the Ultra Department Turing Gordon Welchman and their gifted superior Dillwyn Knox studied a captured Enigma machine used by the Germans to encrypt their unbreakable codes. They built a duplicate machine that allowed them to crack the German codes and were thus able to supply the Allies with decoded messages passing between members of the German high command, an incredible intellectual achievement that helped to bring the war to a speedier end. When German cryptographers constructed a machine even more sophisticated and advanced than Enigma Knox Turing Welchman and others were able to duplicate it and then respond with their own creation
