http://userpages.wittenberg.edu/bshelburne/Turing.htm

Extractions: The Turing Machine Simulator program simulates the execution of a Turing Machine by allowing the generation and execution of small Turing Machine programs consisting of quintuples of symbols (current state, current symbol, next symbol, next state, head movement). The Turing Machine Simulator IDE (Integrated Development Environment) displays four windows: Turing Machine Window : Displays the Tape, the Read/Write head, and the Current State. As a Turing Machine program executes, the R/W head moves back and forth over the Tape while the display for the Current State changes. Status Window : Displays the position of the R/W head, the number of steps executed by the Turing Machine, the Quintuple to be executed next, and the "status" of the Turing Machine (running, halt, interrupt etc). This is useful for "single stepping" the execution of a Turing Machine program. Edit Window : A small built-in editor allows the user to create and edit files of Turing Machine quintuples which then can be executed. Menu Window : Menu to display current user options. Contents change depending on the current selection.

Extractions: Turing Machines. "People think - most people think - that in mathematics we always know what is right and what is wrong. Not so. Not anymore." - Alan Turing. Introduction. In the early to mid 1930's, Alan Turing, one of the significant figures at Bletchley Park wanted to continue the work of Kurt Godel of computational decidability. Although, Turing did not directly answer Godel's question regarding exact decidability, Turing came up with the next best thing, a Turing machine (abbreviated TM). The TM resulted in a working definition of what can and can not be computable as per the Church-Turing thesis . In fact, Turing was able to formally describe Church's recursive functions, in terms of machines. TM's have virtually unrestricted and unlimited amount of memory, unlike other computation models such as a finite automata or pushdown-stack automata. There are essentially two parts to a TM: (1) A control unit (2) one or more tapes consisting of blank cells or squares which may contain a finite sequence of non-blank cells (i.e. containing symbols) and can be infinitely long in either direction.
PlanetMath: Random Turing Machine
random turing machine, (Definition). There are several different ways of defining what it means for a random turing machine to accept or reject an input.
http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/RandomTuringMachine.html

Extractions: random Turing machine (Definition) A random Turing machine is defined the same way as a non-deterministic Turing machine , but with different rules governing when it accepts or rejects. Whenever there are multiple legal moves, instead of always guessing right, a random machine selects one of the possible moves at random. As with non-deterministic machines, this can also be viewed as a deterministic machine with an extra input, which corresponds to the random selections. There are several different ways of defining what it means for a random Turing machine to accept or reject an input. Let be the probability that halts in an accepting state when the input is A positive one-sided error machine is said to accept if and to reject if . A negative one-sided error machine accepts if and rejects if . So a single run of a positive one-sided error machine never misleadingly accepts but may misleadingly reject, while a single run of a negative one-sided error machine never misleadingly rejects.

Extractions: non-deterministic Turing machine (Definition) The definition of a non-deterministic Turing machine is the same as the definition of a deterministic Turing machine except that is a relation , not a function . Hence, for any particular state and symbol, there may be multiple possible legal moves. If we say accepts if, when is the input, there is some finite sequence of legal moves such that is undefined on the state and symbol pair which results from the last move in the sequence and such that the final state is an element of . If does not accept then it rejects An alternative definition of a non-deterministic Turing machine is as a deterministic Turing machine with an extra one-way , read-only tape, the guess tape.

Extractions: R. E. Newman-Wolfe, University of Florida Last modified 4/5/95. Turing machines are as powerful (in terms of language recognition, or in terms of the functions they can compute) as any known computational model. Church's hypothesis states that there is nothing more powerful, and the absence of a counterexample over the years leads the community to accept this, generally. The vanilla Turing machine has a finite state control (FSC), represented by the state set, a semi-infinite read/write tape on which the input is initially placed, and a read/write head that is initially positioned at the left end of the tape (where the input is placed). On each move, the TM considers the contents of the tape cell its head is currently reading as well as its current state, then overwrites the tape cell, possibly enters a new state, and possibly moves the head one cell to the left or right. The following definition is used by Martin. A Turing machine (TM) is a 5-tuple

Extractions: Next: Quantum Computability Up: An Abstract Quantum Computer Previous: An Abstract Quantum Computer The aim of mathematical theory of computation is to discuss and model computation in abstraction from any particular implementation of a computer. As technology develops computers change and evolve. Furthermore at any given time there are many different computer architectures around. In order to be useful mathematics has to abstract all those superficial differences away and concentrate on what really constitutes computation. and somewhat later it turned out that they were very much the same. But later still, towards the end of XXth century, it turned out that certain physical assumptions, which may not necessarily correspond to how certain computations can be done, were smuggled into all three models. In particular quantum computation, the subject of this lecture, is not modelled correctly by any of the above. But there are even some aspects of classical computation, which are not adequately accounted for by the Turing machine and equivalent models, e.g., the thermodynamics of computation. The Turing machine was invented by Alan Turing in 1936 [ ] in order to address Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem The original purpose of Turing machine was to model a formalist mathematical reasoning, the way Hilbert wanted it to be. And Hilbert wanted a mathematician to forget about the meaning of various mathematical constructs and, instead, just operate on symbols. In order to do that the mathematician had to

http://www.almostcool.org/mr/t/t14mu.html

Extractions: (Jade Tree) With the explosion in instrumental rock over the past couple of years on the indie scene, there have been all kinds of bands come and go. There are the almost freeform bands like Storm And Stress (although not completely instrumental) doing their thing while other bands like Don Caballerro (made up of some of the same members) perform with almost mathlike precision a lot of the time (earning their title of "math rock"). There are other bands like Tristeza who create music in more of the spaced-out realm, with lots of twinkling guitars and nicely layered keyboards. The Turing Machine falls somewhere in-between bands like Don Cab and Tristeza, playing a sort of loose blend of instrumental rock with drums, guitars, bass and the occassional keyboard that isn't actually afraid to rock at times. On this, their debut album, they run through 7 songs in about 42 minutes time and one of those clocks in at less than one minute, leaving them with some pretty lengthy tracks. While it is this length that sometimes helps the group, it's also something that hurts them a bit at some points when the songs simply drag on for a bit too long without direction. After the very short opening track of "4/13/72," the group drops the 7 and a half minute long "Flip Book Oscilloscope" and it's an excellent track that undulates just the right amount and completely rocks out in points. Not letting things stagnate too long, the album then pretty much explodes with the 2-minute track "The Doodler." Like the titled suggests, it's not really much more than a couple chord changes, but the group makes it blister.

Foot notes 1 - COMPUTING MACHINERY AND INTELLIGENCE BY A.M.TURING I PROPOSE to consider the question, 'Can machines think?' This should begin with definitions of the meaning of the terms 'machine 'and 'think'. The definitions might be framed so as to reflect so far as possible the normal use of the words, but this attitude is dangerous. If the meaning of the words 'machine' and 'think 'are to be found by examining how they are commonly used it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the meaning and the answer to the question, 'Can machines think?' is to be sought in a statistical survey such as a Gallup poll. But this is absurd. Instead of attempting such a definition I shall replace the question by another, which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words. The new form of the problem can be described' in terms of a game which we call the 'imitation game'. 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 from the other two. The object of the game for the interrogator is to determine which of the other two is the man and which is the woman. He knows them by labels X and Y, and at the end of the game he says either 'X is A and Y is B' or 'X is B and Y is A'. The interrogator is allowed to put questions to A and B thus:

A unique annual contest in which a winner is selected from participants who comes to the closest to demonstrating that machines can think like humans, as per the turing Test.
http://www.loebner.net/Prizef/loebner-prize.html

Extractions: (Solid 18 carat, not gold-plated like the Olympic "Gold" medals) The Loebner Prize is the first formal instantiation of a Turing Test . The test is named after Alan Turing the brilliant British mathematician. Among his many accomplishments was basic research in computing science. In 1950, in the article Computing Machinery and Intelligence which appeared in the philosophical journal Mind, Alan Turing asked the question "Can a Machine Think?"He answered in the affirmative, but a central question was: "If a computer could think, how could we tell?" Turing's suggestion was, that if the responses from the computer were indistinguishable from that of a human,the computer could be said to be thinking. In 1990 Hugh Loebner agreed with The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies to underwrite a contest designed to implement the Turing Test. Dr. Loebner pledged a Grand Prize of $100,000 and a Gold Medal (pictured above) for the first computer whose responses were indistinguishable from a human's. Each year an annual prize of $2000 and a bronze medal is awarded to the most human computer. The winner of the annual contest is the best entry relative to other entries that year, irrespective of how good it is in an absolute sense.
