Alan Turing: Works, Research, Career & Standards

Alan Mathison Turing (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which…

How Alan Turing connects Entity context

The extracted context around Alan Turing shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Alan Turing → Agar, Alan, Alan Turing's Automatic Computing, Alan Turing's Historic Paper, Alfred, Amber Lane Press, American Business, Andrew, ASIN, Aspray, B000B7TM0QWilliams, Babbage, Barry, Basic Books, BBC, Belknap Press, Beniger, Bernhardt, Bletchley Park, Bodanis Another extracted example is Alan Turing → Alan Mathison, Alan Mathison Turing, Andrew, April, Archived, Asperger's, Computer Scientist, Computing Machine, Copeland, Did Alan Turing, Edmund, Father, Fitzgerald, Gray, Hodges, In Edward, Irish Institute, Irish Journal, ISSN, Jack. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
