Good–Turing Frequency Estimation
Good–Turing frequency estimation is a statistical technique for estimating the probability of encountering an object of a hitherto unseen species, given a set of past observations of objects from different species. In drawing balls from an urn, the 'objects' would be balls and the 'species' would be the distinct colors of the balls (finite but unknown in number). After drawing R_\text red balls, R_\text black balls and R_\text green balls, we would ask what is the probability of drawing a red ball, a black ball, a green ball or one of a previously unseen color. Historical background Good–Turing frequency estimation was developed by Alan Turing and his assistant I. J. Good as part of their methods used at Bletchley Park for cracking German ciphers for the Enigma machine during World War II. Turing at first modelled the frequencies as a multinomial distribution, but found it inaccurate. Good developed smoothing algorithms to improve the estimator's accuracy. The discovery was ...

Turing House School
Turing House School is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school which was opened in 2015 in the London Borough of Richmond, south-west London, under the Government's free schools initiative. The proposal for the school was initiated by local parents in 2011 in partnership with the Russell Education Trust (RET), who operate four other free schools in the south and south-west of England. Turing House School is named in honour of Alan Turing, the famous mathematician who lived for a while in nearby Hampton when he worked at the National Physical Laboratory. The school is governed by RET, with some governance responsibilities delegated to the school's local governing body. Performance In May 2018 the school was rated by Ofsted as "good" overall, with areas being "outstanding". Like other schools, latest exam results and related data are published in the Department for Education's national tables. Site history Due to delays in securing a permanent site large enough fo ...

Turing Degree
In computer science and mathematical logic the Turing degree (named after Alan Turing) or degree of unsolvability of a set of natural numbers measures the level of algorithmic unsolvability of the set. Overview The concept of Turing degree is fundamental in computability theory, where sets of natural numbers are often regarded as decision problems. The Turing degree of a set is a measure of how difficult it is to solve the decision problem associated with the set, that is, to determine whether an arbitrary number is in the given set. Two sets are Turing equivalent if they have the same level of unsolvability; each Turing degree is a collection of Turing equivalent sets, so that two sets are in different Turing degrees exactly when they are not Turing equivalent. Furthermore, the Turing degrees are partially ordered, so that if the Turing degree of a set ''X'' is less than the Turing degree of a set ''Y'', then any (noncomputable) procedure that correctly decides whether numbers a ...

Turing Computability
Computability theory, also known as recursion theory, is a branch of mathematical logic, computer science, and the theory of computation that originated in the 1930s with the study of computable functions and Turing degrees. The field has since expanded to include the study of generalized computability and definability. In these areas, computability theory overlaps with proof theory and effective descriptive set theory. Basic questions addressed by computability theory include: * What does it mean for a function on the natural numbers to be computable? * How can noncomputable functions be classified into a hierarchy based on their level of noncomputability? Although there is considerable overlap in terms of knowledge and methods, mathematical computability theorists study the theory of relative computability, reducibility notions, and degree structures; those in the computer science field focus on the theory of subrecursive hierarchies, formal methods, and formal languages.

Turing Completeness
In computability theory, a system of data-manipulation rules (such as a computer's instruction set, a programming language, or a cellular automaton) is said to be Turing-complete or computationally universal if it can be used to simulate any Turing machine (devised by English mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing). This means that this system is able to recognize or decide other data-manipulation rule sets. Turing completeness is used as a way to express the power of such a data-manipulation rule set. Virtually all programming languages today are Turing-complete. A related concept is that of Turing equivalence two computers P and Q are called equivalent if P can simulate Q and Q can simulate P. The Church–Turing thesis conjectures that any function whose values can be computed by an algorithm can be computed by a Turing machine, and therefore that if any real-world computer can simulate a Turing machine, it is Turing equivalent to a Turing machine. A universal Turin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Turing (cipher)
__NOTOC__ Turing is a stream cipher developed by Gregory G. Rose and Philip Hawkes at Qualcomm for CDMA. Gregory G. Rose and Philip Hawkes, Turing: A Fast Stream Cipher, Fast Software Encryption 2003, pp. 290–30(PDF) Turing generates 160 bits of output in each round by applying a non-linear filter to the internal state of an LFSR. It is named after Alan Turing. It was developed based on the SOBER cipher introduced by Rose in 1998. This is evident in its major component, the Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR), which is the same technology found in the family of SOBER machines. Turing, however, is distinguished from its predecessors by the way it produces five words (five times more) of output for every internal update. It also provides up to 256-bit key strength and is designed to be fast in software, achieving around 5.5 cycles/byte on some x86 processors. There are experts who found that the Turing stream cipher has a number of weaknesses when faced with chosen IV attacks. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
