  1. turing

    Turing generally refers to Alan Turing, a British mathematician and computer scientist who is considered one of the fathers of modern computing technology. He developed theoretical concepts that laid the groundwork for computer science, including Turing machines, which are hypothetical devices used to understand the nature and limitations of what can be computed, and the Turing test, a criterion to determine a machine's capability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, a human's. In general, "Turing" is often associated with concepts, tests, awards or objects related to computer science and digital technology.
