Turing lecture 2012

Turing lecture 2012 is a conference that covers topics such as:

• Exploring Turing’s strongly Bayesian problem solving approaches
• Focussing on the challenges Turing faced in relation to Enigma
• Looking at how this translates into algorithms used in decisions in relation to the world
• Looking at the similarities with the problem the brain faces in making sense of its environment
• Determining how the approach and solutions to Enigma forged by Turing can be turned inwards, where the brain itself is the unknown, to probe mechanistic processes that give rise to the very apparatus that is the human mind
• Extending the problem to the greater complexity entailed by an environment where there are other intentional agents
