Abstract: Determining the period of a function is the main step in Shor’s factorization algorithm which is a cornerstone in the theory of quantum computing and a primary motivation for developing ...

According to Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) on Twitter, Yann LeCun is conflating general intelligence with universal intelligence, emphasizing that both human brains and AI foundation models function ...

The goal of the “busy beaver” game is to find the longest-running computer program. Its pursuit has surprising connections to some of the most profound questions and concepts in mathematics.

Modern AI systems have fulfilled Alan Turing’s vision by learning from experience and passing the Turing Test. However, a recent paper stresses their divergence from Turing’s ideal of energy-efficient ...

To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. You may think of recursion as a programming structure where a function calls itself. We call such a function a recursive function. Many ...

Researchers are investigating whether large language models (LLMs) can move beyond language tasks and perform computations that mirror traditional computing systems. The focus has shifted towards ...

The founding father of the effort to build intelligent machines was, of course, Alan Turing (although Ada Lovelace may have been the founding mother, as will be seen shortly). Turing is publicly most ...

Justin Chearno, the onetime member of such bands as Pitchblende and Turing Machine, who went on to be at the forefront of the natural wine movement and was co-owner of Brooklyn restaurant Four ...
